I have a partiotn with vista ultimae on it, it's aroun1,3 TB big.
It still has around 700 GB free space.
I already reduced the virtiual memory size to 200 mb to make sure that
windows finds space but no..
It keeps on saying there is 0 space to use (and then suggest to have a look
at the virtual memory or at the moment'recordings'(i think with that is
meant systemreplacement, the replacepoints.
Should i remove those systemreplacepoints and where i they located?
And what about this: i just read that systemreplacement ony works with a
disk of at leas 1 GB, is that true?

Thanks for all your help,

Jerry
 
Hi,

Run diskmgmt.msc - how much free (unpartitioned) space is available on the
drive? What steps are you taking to expand your system volume?

Unlock virtual memory, restricting it is pointless and possibly detrimental
to system performance. Space occupied by vm and system restore is on your
existing volume and would have nothing to do with an issue with expanding
the volume.
And what about this: i just read that systemreplacement ony works with a
disk of at leas 1 GB, is that true?

No.

Ok,
now, after having added the free space i already had to the c-C didsk,
i am now not at all able to resize the cdisk...!? The message: acces denied.
(first by the way i got the message logic station acces denied, didnot
understand that as i never created a logic station..) but now i just get:
Acces Denied..

This means i have now 1 partition (C) of around 1,4 TB.
And vista cannot make it some smaller..

There must be a failure somewhere and i like to know where ofcourse and how
to solve it, microsoft must have a solution for this?
 
hi, i appreciate your help

shall i first install english language into my vista system before sending
the reports? (can i just add attachments here into the newsgroups??)
as my language and the reports are in Dutch now..

Just one more thing: i now installed the english language and i created the
logfiles as you requested. (the perfmno/report html file and the msinfo32
nfo file)
I just want to know:
1 is it save to share these files here in a newsgroup (other people, please
reply), how about my pc's security?
and 2, can i just add an attachment right here in the newsgroup?

when i had some replies, i will add them here today

Thanks already,

Jerry
 
Sorry,

The second link in my last post doesnot work, to make it work i did this:
go to:
http://www.trancedidge.com/tmp/perfmon_report.nfo

and then: )!) rename/change the nfo into html, then you have the real
perfmon_report.html

Why don't you organize your thoughts and just start over with a new
thread. This one is a PITA to try to read and comprehend.

Hi again, i did start a new thread though.. but this one is still
understanadable for you luckily.

Basically i read: my system is pretty 'non stable/not right working.
The only option is see is a complete new install, allthough everything for
the rest works fine though.
It's too absurd that my computer reads c disk as 500 gb while i have 1,5 tb.
for all the other things, the non ability of resizing, i see only the
solution of complete reinstall..

which will take me a day..
 
it seems you peopple didnot get me, al your help advicesa rea unusable....

but:
all your help didnot work..
but, i found EASEUS partition manager (freeware for home use) which was able
to do the trick.

but still my system malfuntions, if i'd go to the management console and go
to the screen where to resize/epand, create partions etc, it's impossible to
assig non used space to a partion..anymody suggestions for that?
donot think so, wiill try to fix it with the program or reinstall vista.
