Rescue and Recovery 4.21 - Will not use all the freespace on 2nd HDD

I have had this problem for a while and upgrading to the latest release of RnR does not resolve it.
I have a 160GB 2nd HDD in my Ultra Bay and RnR comfortably backs up the initial image and three incremental images using a total of 90GB.  However, subsequent backups are not made as the software reports that there is not enough space - even though there is some 40GB free and the incremental backups are always less than 2GB.
I am using this on a T61p if that is of any relevance.
Anyone have a solution?
Thanks 

I looked into my Event Viewer and got a hint. Also, knowing that my anti-virus program,
BitDefender, has a feature that prevents modification to the registry without permission from
me, and I hadn't been asked for such, I decided to turn that feature off and try again.
That worked, and I now have the latest version of Rescue and Recovery installed.

    Did a restore, and now my iPhone will not activate, though the iOS activation server seems to be "green"
    SIM card is inserted, connected to wifi, and connected to iTunes though it tells me it is "unable to continue at this time"
    Any other solutions?

  • My IPOD and Macbook Pro both will not connect to the Itunes store through Itunes says no internet connection, but I can connect through safari and I have a internet connection

    As I mentioned above, I am not very tech savvy so I have no idea why a wireless protocol would be showing up there, I'm just listing everything I see in hopes that someone might know something I can try. This is why I am asking for help here - I'm not sure what has happened that has made me unable to connect, especially since it seemingly occured while nobody was using the computer.
    I guess I should clarify that I'm not a total hillbilly- normally my firewall is set to 'on', but I set it to 'off' to try and troubleshoot the issues here as I was told that sometimes it can interfere with the computer's ability to connect to the internet. If this is not the case and firewall does not affect anything, I will turn it back on while I try to fix this.
    I have tried the method you mentioned above a few times - I actually contacted my ISP earlier this week and they recommended resetting the router like that. They didn't mention any known network issues.

  • I upgraded to Maverick and now Time Machine will not connect to the external hard drive to back up files.  The external hard drive is a Western Digital "My Book Live" 2 TB.  How do I solve problem?

    I upgraded to Maverick and now Time Machine will not connect to the external hard drive to back up files.  The external hard drive is a Western Digital "My Book Live" 2 TB.  How do I solve problem?

    I also had problem accessing my WD MyBookLive after upgrading to Maverick.
    To resolve the problem, I used  Connect To Server (Cmd K) to specify the IP address.
    Then I enter a user id and password I created in the MyBookLive.
    You can also verify that you have admin access to the MyBookLive using Safari or Chrome.
    Just enter the MyBookLive IP address as the URL.

    Thanks for this post. It corrected my similar issue. Note that you need to exit from/re-enter iTunes after deleting the song from your Purchased list.

  • Updated to IOS6 and now my apps will not update on the Ipad2.  I have to delete them and then re-install.  But I have several hundred apps and this is cumbersome.  Seems the new software is too buggy.  I am telling people not to update software yet.

    Basic troubleshooting from the Users Guide is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new). Try each of these in order until the issue is resolved.

  • TS1368 I have tried uninstalling and re-installing and my pc still will not connect with the iTunes Store. I have tried just about every suggestion on the web to no avail, please help.

    I have tried uninstalling and re-installing iTunes and my pc still will not connect with the iTunes Store. I have tried just about every suggestion on the web to no avail, please help.

    When I click on the store it just never opens, I do not receive any message. I try to "refresh the page" and nothing. While having the store selected I go to "help" and check for updates and i get a message; "The iTunes updatte server could not be contacted" and it prompts me to check my internet connection which is fine. None of the items under the "Store" respond with anything.
    I ran a iTunes Diagnostics/ Under "Which Tests do you want to run" I check only "Network Connections" and the results that I receive is...
    Network connectivity:
         Network interfaces, verified
    iTunes Store connectivity:
         Internet connection, verified
         Secure link to iTunes Store, FAILED
    Does this help?

  • Some of my newly downloaded songs will not pay all the way through, they just skip to the next song

    I just recently downloaded two new cds on iTunes and not all the songs, but a few of them will not play all the way out. It will play and then just skip to the next song! How can I fix it????

    Hey ronserickson,
    Thanks for the question. If I understand correctly, the songs do not play completely. I would recommend that you read this article, it may be able to help you isolate or resolve the issue.

  • Officejet Pro 8600 Plus paper tray will not go all the way in so cannot print

    Have loved this printer for almost two years but suddenly the drawer which holds the paper will not go all the way in so cannot print.  Took it to a so-called tech at Office Depot who said that because you cannot open/remove the tray, there is no way to see what is jamming it.  Any thoughts?  My first call for tech support was answered by a tech here in the US who said they had experience with it and it could be fixed and asked dme to call again when I was back in the office and at the printer.  The next four calls were answered overseas and they all had had no experience with this problem.

  • In safari a lot web pages will not scroll all the way down

    a lot of web pages in safari will not scoll all the way to the bottom what do I do

    You can try to resetting Safari. Tap Settings, then tap Safari on the left side. Then on the right side - tap clear history, clear cookies, clear cache. Clear all three. Reboot your iPad. Hold down on the sleep button at the top until the red slider appears and slide to power off. Then hold down on the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and the iPad will restart. Launch Safari and see if helped.
    If you are trying to scroll through an area of text and can't scroll to the bottom try a two finger scroll.

  • MP4 crated in CC LR will not play all the way through.

    I created an MP4 on CC LR that will not play all the way through on my web site.  When I play it on our site it shows the first three images (there are a total of 26) and then starts over and yet when I play it from my Desktop it works perfectly.  You can see the problem at www.oldeworldelace.com/Custmers-lace-panels.html.    I'm looking forward to your suggestions.

    I have tried that setting but then the whole show is messed up, some pictures freeze and some just zip through. If i only choose one song it will repeat for the entire show, if I pick 3 songs only 2 will play and the rest of the show is silent.

    Is this issue specific to one PDF file or all?

  • Service Partition - Rescue and Recovery installati​on fails (not enough free space)

    Im am aware about  former posts to this subject  on this forum, but they didn't answer all my questions, so I reopened  the subject. 
    I tried to install "Rescue and Recovery" on T60 with win XP  Pro and got the following message:
    'There is not enough free space in the boot sector to install the Rescue and Recovery boot manager'
    I followed the   solution in "Rescue and Recovery installation fails") from 08-09-2008 03:03 AM
    and  created a hidden partition with Parted Magic but the rescue and recovery still fails with the same message.
    Somewhere in the forum I read that the original service partition has a special format and not ntfs. 
    Could somebody tell me is it true or not ?
    How can I rebuild this service partition ?
    Do I need special setting, flags there ?
    Is it possible  to rebuild this partition without recovery CDs at all ?
    Actually I'm wondering to,  about the error message. It is saying '"..There is not enough free space in the boot sector ..." . 
    Is it possible  that the boot sector is the problem and not the service partition ?
    How can I fix that ?
    Thanks in advance if somebody helps.

    I have a 4-year-old ThinkPad R51. Because I was getting intermittent boot-up error messages--"Rescue and Recovery has encountered a problem and needs to close"--with ver. 4.0, I tried to upgrade to ver. 4.2.  Per instructions, I first removed ver. 4.0 using Windows Control Panel.  Then each attempt to install 4.2 failed with the message: "Error 25025. There is not enough free space on the computer to install or upgrade the Rescue and Recovery environment."  Just before that error message popped up in center-screen, I got a Windows message at lower right saying "You are running out of space on SERVICEV001 (Z:}"  Of course, there was no way I could view partition Z (that I knew of).
    Thanks to the helpful messages above, I downloaded Parted Magic (http://partedmagic.com), burned a boot CD per its instructions, and re-booted with that CD.  Using GParted, I saw that my SERVICEV001 partition was merely 590 MB, and 587 MB was in use.  So I reduced my C partition by 500 MB and added 500 MB to the Z partition, raising it to 1090 MB.  Then I was able to re-boot into Windows and the installation of Rescue and Recovery 4.2 was error-free.
    Out of curiosity, I again re-booted with the Parted Magic CD to see how much space on the Z partition was taken by the RnR ver. 4.2 installation.  To my surprise, it showed that still only 587 MB was in use, and 503 MB remained unused.
    I thank those in this forum whose messages gave me the needed guidance.  And I thanked the author of Parted Magic with a $10 donation, as I hope other users of his open source program will do.
