Hi guys,
I need some help in here.The problem is like this. A pc keep on giving me an error "The disk is full". This problem occured only i try to save a file.
As far as i know the drive c is not full yet as well as the other network drive. Can you help me out?
anyway,how to fix a sluggish pc? any software reccomended?
A free one?
Thanks... Wait for your reply !!! :confused:
Try giving us some more info, what OS especially...
If you are running windows a way to improve speed is installing ad-aware and spybot search and destroy both are free and can be found by http://www.google.com, remember to update first both programs, also immunize your system with S&D...
These programs should improve performance especially when browsing on the internet...
Also a run with scandisk should be able to solve your poblem (that is if you are running windows ) because maybe the system shutted down once while trying to copy a file and the file is somewhere on the hard disk but not reall there...Donīt know how to explain it...anyway scandisk should be abl to find any lost HDD space on the system...
Thats all i can suggest for now since you are not really giving alot of information here.

Can anyone here check out my post and reply back?
Really help...
Thanks. :(
Ah you beat my while i was typing man you want a fast reply...
Also for a sluggisch comp if you dont want to format everything i suggest you look into the software that is installed at the moment, uninstall all useless software...
With tis i mean that when you for example install yahoo messenger it will also install all other useless things like yahoo search bar and others, you can easily uninstall this without affecting the messenger itself...
Uninstall programs which are never used at all...
Also checking the registry and cleaning your registry should be a good thing to do, i know there are some programs to do this but i cant relly come up with the name right now (anyway there also free, since i see u like free things :-D ).

hi ganglylamb,
I'm using win98 and i have done the scandisk.it's so slow and it always hang. what should i do?
Well if it always hangs its a different thing, does it really hang or does it restarts??
If it restarts you should close all applications which can be possibly writing or opening any file at the moment...
Best way to do this is to press alt - ctrl-del and terminate all processes and apps except for explorer and some other vital system applications and of course your scandisk.
greets,
Ganglylamb
Thanks for the fast reply.At the moment i just want to solve the problem first. well,
of course i like free stuff.what kind of software will clean up your window registry? come on,i need that at the moment. i can't do scandisk. it hangs and slow.
i try to save file. it gives me the damn thing again "The disk is full"
really fed up.....
need extra help from expert out there.. HELLO.... DO YOU HEAR ME?
Look scandisk is something that goes slow, and by shouting on this board you wont accomplish anything, also ive given you enough help for now,
Maybe you are fed up with the problem but I am FED UP WITH YOU.
Iīm off figure it out yourself lol ...
I'm sorry,dude. i'm not shouting on the board. i'm try to ask some help from you guys politely. is there anyway? ganglylamb.
Thanks@
have you ever considered the fact that your HD might be filled to capacity
Sounds like to me their brain had a disc error long ago....
what do you mean by that?prog_bman.
I just want to know why cause it and the way to solve it?
that's all.
Read all my posts and follow my guidelines, run scandisk first ( yes it take a while but you need to be patient ), also choose advanced options bvefore running and select clear lost file fragments ( dont know the literal english translation but that should be close to it ) + select fix problems automatically...
[edit]
also use instead of standard conrole type the extended controle type ( so it will scan for errors as well on yourn harddisk
[/edit]
Let it run, in the menwhile go relax and drink something or go out for a walk. When its done, come back and tell me the results...

>> As far as i know the drive c is not full
well maybe you should check?? how big is this file and how much space do you have left?
lol, Joanna, have you even looked ANYTHING up on your own? I mean, everyone here is up for helping, but come on now.
How big is your HD? If you're running 98, I'm assuming it's not too suped up. What if you're really out of space?
Don't run too many programs. go to www.download.com and search for ANYTHING posted here. Reg cleaners, Reg optomization guide, Sybot, Adware.
Go to run and type in msconfig, and turn off programs that u don't need starting up. Unistall useless crap.
If all this fails (or if you can't do anything without a direct url), tell us what you use your computer for. Maybe there's something you're not telling us.
a better suggestion is, restart in ms-dos mode
type format c: then y to accept, have a cd ready
if you must a win98 disk, but prefably a xp or
linux disk, and redo your whole system, and then take
care of it from there,
before you actualyl do any of this realize all data will be lost
so back up anything important.
also dont do this if you dont have a bootable operating system
disk.
also if this is not a option, if you are out of space and
are just tired of the warning that pops up there a way to
disable it, im not sure what the command is for win98
but i know one exsist, so just lookt hat up on google.
if you actually consider formating, and need additional advice or
help feel free to msg me on a instant messenger from my profile
or pm me.
Reformatting is not always the best choice. Please do not suggest this to someone... especially if they do not even understand a "disk full" error.
How about
1. Empty the recycle bin
2. Run Internet Explorer (or whatever browser you have) and empty the cache
3. Delete downloaded files which you no longer need
4. Deinstall programs which you no longer need.
If you have a network drive, how about asking your local network admin person for some help on these basic questions.

besides i gave a warning and told him to ask for help before
he attempts it not like i just said restart in dos and type that
with out any explantion to what it does.
I think the point was that, she doesn't really know what she's doing, otherwise she'd be able to figure out what "disk full" means (kinda obvious don't ya think guys :rolleyes: ). Anyway, I think she needs to just step away from the computer and let someone else fix it.
Hi guys,
finally,i have figured out what's the real problem behind it?
The hardisk is causing the problem. i just change a new hardisk and it solved the problem.anyway,thanks for all the help in here. :D
OMG. Yeah... I bet it was a bad disk :rolleyes:
Yeah. I hear the new disks are being delivered with extra space these days.
wow....you guys were there, didn't I tell her to have someone else fix it? How much money did you spend on this new disk? And how exactly do you know your disk was bad?
Hei,waldo2k2
u didn't tell me that the disk is causing the problem.
firstly i thought it was the program.i was so angry that i take out the disk and change a new one. it run smooth. then i know the disk is the main problem.
:p
::smacks forehead::
forget it.
um....but......o to hell with it.
This isn't going anywhere.
Any remaining or new problems should be posted as new threads.
