John Boy Saint Posted 22 February, 2011 Share Posted 22 February, 2011 I have a Sony Vaio laptop with C & D drives. Nothing can be downloaded onto, or touched in the C drive and as a result the D drive free space is creaking at the seams. Can anyone think of why this could be happening.

thesaint sfc Posted 22 February, 2011 Share Posted 22 February, 2011 Sounds like the D drive is perhaps a recovery partition? Is it windows 7? I'd probably delete the D partition and extend the C to use the whole of the drive. If on XP then you'll need to look through the Sony software and see if something is backing up your system to that partition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saint_stevo Posted 22 February, 2011 Share Posted 22 February, 2011 (edited) check the security settings, i guess writing to C:/ is disabled for your user account what OS is it running? REPLY to TS SFC- i thought he meant that his HDD had been partitioned into C and D and he was unable to use any of the space on C thus filling up D rather quickly? No? So if he deletes D he then would have a larger, still inaccessible C drive.. Edited 22 February, 2011 by saint_stevo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Boy Saint Posted 22 February, 2011 Author Share Posted 22 February, 2011 Things went awry it appears when I made an 02 Dongle go to C not D in August the last entry on C is a ghost (you know faint icon) file called Connectoid xmls. just went to have a look at it and an active X warning comes up on internet explorer which opened automatically when clicked.
