because of problem downloaded a NEW proggy that converts films and was being the fucking king until I had this message

No disk space 75b6bf7c 4 75b etc etc

HELP PLEASE

nothing is going to work until you find out where the space has gone and delete the files which are taking up the space.. you only have 2.xGb free and dvd is 4.3Gb

you need to decypher where there space is being used using the utilities suggested - that will tell you where the files are that are taking up all your space and you can delete them. that is the easiest way.

I think whats been happening is there are copies of the films you have converted in the past which you are not aware of.. 4.3Gb per film soon adds up.. you've got 230Gb drive with "bare minimum" installs and only 2.xGb free - so were talking alot of Gb's consumed by something.. from what you've said so far it is the most logical conclusion IMO.

You could try a search using windows explorer, I did this a while ago looking for specific files. If you type in *.vob, then let it search your hard drive, then hit the size tab to show files in order of size. Also worth doing the search option with other video formats such as *.avi, *.mpg etc.

I found about 60 gig worth of oldish crap for deletion.

download Sequoiaview

http://w3.win.tue.nl/nl/onderzoek/on...t_sequoiaview/

once its installed start it up, it will take a bit of time to scan all the files on your c: (or any other drive you select) once complete go to View > Options and tick "Enable colourscheme"

this will the give a graphical view of every file on that drive, the bigger the block, the bigger the file, hover over the "big grey blocks" (as they are in my case) and it will provide you with the full file name and folder location..........hope this makes sense

Obviously not as intelligent as you, I would imagine theres things that you could not fathom yet I would probably suss out quite easy.

Just one of thoses things I Totally overlooked,I Had no Idea Little Roms would esculate into a large amount of disk space being used.

**Possy_99** · 26th July 2010

lol, it's easy when you know how.. I'm sure I appeared equally as dumb recently when a mechanic was asking me basic questions about my motor which I couldn't answer.. i know jack about engines.. each to their own..
