My Recovery(D:) drive only has 428MB of free space put of 9.99GB. It has never had that little amount before and i was wondering if there is any way to make more free space. I have been having alot of problems with my computer and was also wondering if this could be the cause? Any help is appreciated.
I'm certainly
NOT going to dispute Havetia, because she has a lot more "'puter smarts" than me (remember my poem "The Princess Geek?). Still, I noticed 2 things that seem to have been overlooked.
- First, you mention your recovery drive D. This is usually a segmented portion of your main drive (sometimes called a virtual drive) that is designed to contain ONLY copies of your main OS and required system files.
It is intentionally designed to be only slightly larger than the space designed to hold these files. Under normal circumstances, your computer (and you) should not be storing new files on this drive. If the computer is suddenly doing so unexpectedly, you should run a virus scan. - Secondly, you mentioned a black screen and a message about the computer entering power saver mode. This is normally a function of the power settings in the Properties file. Try turning off Power Saver by right clicking anywhere on your screen that is not in a running program, and choosing the Power Settings.
I hope this helps.
