Hard Drive Error- Reports full over 3 gb free
I keep getting error messages that my hard drive is full, but when I go to
My Computer in WIN98SE and click on C drive properties it tells me I have 3.6 GB free. Any Ideas on fixing this. It has done this several different times. I have deleted files several times and after I do this it will work ok for a while then start again sometimes it will go until I have 1 or 2 gb then tell me it is full. Is it the Virtual Memory that is causing this or do I need to run defrag? or change some setting? Thanks for any input. |

Is something happening to make your swap file grow dramatically in size? A corrupted file a do this. Can you link the messages to any particular = programme you run? How large is your hard disk? In Windows Explorer right click on your C = drive and select Properties. Is your hard disk partitioned? How much ram = memory? You might try monitoring memory and swap file in use. I suggest you run = System Monitor. Start, Programs, Accessories, System Tools, System = Monitor. Select Edit, Add Item, click on Kernel ( Category ) and select = Memory Manager ( Category ) select items Swap file in use and Unused = physical memory. Select View, Line Charts and View, Tool Bar and Status = Bar. Create a log starting before you expect the problem and leave it = running minimised and then look at it later. If you are generating = significant Swap file in use figures ( not Swap file size ) it is = indicative that additional RAM memory may help.=20 If System Monitor is not there when you go to set it up select Start, = Settings, Control Panel, Add / Remove Programs, Windows Setup. Scroll = down window and click on System Tools and browse down and click on = System Monitor. Click on OK and exit. Have your Windows CD handy as you = may be asked to insert the disk. ~~~~~~ Hope this helps.
