The log says I have XP SP2 installed, but I have all the latest security updates too. Couldn't download and install SP3, because I ran out of disk space on drive C:\. Bummer.

Thank you for taking the time and trouble to check it.

 

There’s your answer…………. Get a Bigger HD and your slow boot will go away. They are cheap now… The operating system needs room to work correctly and can’t optimize the files when it doesn’t have the room to handle them..

2OG

 

Here is a solution that I use..

Move the MY Documents folder from your boot drive to your 2nd drive. Only keep your Operating System and Applications (programs) on the boot drive. That way the boot drive doesn’t become to Full to operate and if your boot drive, used the most, ever goes out, you don’t loose all your documents, pics, music, etc., etc.

 

Erm, thanks for the tip, but that is not the solution to my problem. As I mentioned before, I've been having this issue for some 10 days now, starting after I removed Spybot. I'd had the same HDD before as well, with the same amount of free space (approx. 700 megs). No problems booting up whatsoever before, now it's terribly slow with the same amount of space available. I've defraged the drive and run checkdisk, but to no avail.

By the way, it's not a matter of me having a small HDD, but rather a small partition. Silly me, I only allocated 5 GB to C:\ when I formatted my HDD some 6 years ago. That seemed like a lot back then. Certainly, I've tried rearranging partition sizes using the latest version of Partition Magic, but I was unable to do so, perhaps because drive C: is a primary partition and drive D: is a logical extension.

 

Go to Start > My Computer > right click on Local drive C: > properties

And just see how much space you have.

Hello! If you can’t install SP3 without running out of disk space, Your disk is FULL!

And that means it can't transfer data at full speed!!!!!


edit Yes a partition is the same as a drive. Whatever, your out of space that it needs to operate.... duh

 

Like I said, I have 700 megs of free space on drive C: It should suffice, seeing as how the system's been operating like that for 2 1/2 years now.

 

and just what is the capacity, full size of the drive?

 

Full HDD capacity is 100 GB, divided into a 5GB and a 95GB partition.

 

Then you need at least 10% or 10,000 Megs free space. 700 Megs falls way short.

Like I said your dam drive or the partition you are using is FULL...

edit if your c partition is 5GB 10% is 500 megs and that will work, but very slow. when you get that close, your looking for problems. and i don't care how long you have been using it but over time they get full and slow down.

GET A NEW COMPUTER..

 

LMAO.

That's some great advice, thanks. DD

I also have a 300GB HDD, but only use it for data storage. I could always reinstall Windows onto that one, but that's exactly what I've been trying to avoid.

 

That's about the best advice I could offer at the time, since you were determined to make a 5GB drive run as fast as a new computer. lol

I have Acronis Disk Director that will allow you to allocate more free space for your c partition. I think I remember on one I did one time that I deleted the d partition and then used the free space in the c partition.

Acronis is about 50 bucks tho.

I never had any luck with partition magic so never used it enough to know if it would work or not.

like I said, if you have a second drive installed, just move your documents to it and then reinstall XP on this drive. making sure you use enough space for your c partition. ; )

p.s. I have nothing but the OS and Apps on my boot drive and it uses just over 9 Gigs.

 

Yeah I've been thinking about completely reformatting my primary 100GB drive and creating two equal-sized partitions, but I'm just too bloody lazy to reinstall Windows - not to mention that there's always some snags in the meantime as well as until the system "matures", which I can't really afford as I need the computer to be operational day-by-day for my work.

Nevertheless, I'm pretty sure I'll have no other option but reinstall the OS soon.

 

What do you use the D: partition for???

Why not goto Start > My Documents > properties

And then move My Documents to your D: partition thereby giving you enough room in your C: partition for your OS and programs..

It will copy all your documents over and leave the room you need..

Think about that

p.s. when you move them, the os will then read and write to the d: drive when it needs to.

 

I store work-related data, films and music on drive D:\.

Anyway, the My Documents folder is about 100MB, so it's not the largest folder on C:\. But I'll give it a try, nonetheless.

 

just a thought. grasping at straws. lol

 

you could also move any other folder that's not in my docs over and put a short cut to it on your desktop, or wherever..

 

Another question: I have all these "$NtUninstallKB835221WXP$" and similar directories under C:\Windows\, which - if I understand correctly - store the uninstall information for all Windows updates. Since I don't intend to remove any of them, however, is it safe to delete these files/directories? They take up an awful lot of space.

 

@ laputomi
I told you in your other post that your problem was the small hard drive (partion) I bought and use acronis disk director suite and true image home, they are great as 2oldGeek said. You can down load the trial for 14 days, get the job done, no reformatting. Also move my Documents to second partion as 2oldGeek says, I have moved mine a long time ago and if i ever need to reformat or should ever get a virus , they are untouched. And with true image home you create an image of your c drive and put it in their secure zone and if you need to reformat c just click on f11 when booting, But you will have to buy it to do that.

Thanks for the heads-up. Seems like I'll need to do a system reinstall after all, and while I'm at it, I'm gonna make my C: partition a LOT larger. EDIT: Unless I can resize my partitions using that acronis software.

Thanks for all the help, both of you.

 

@donewell,

Acronis is the King.. I own True Image 10 and Disk Director 10 and it was money well spent.
I don’t get viruses or Trojans, I do screw things up occasionally and it only takes 3 minutes to recover my entire HD back to where I was at the start of the day….

I have two 250 GB drives in my computer and a 500 GB USB drive connected for storage of music, movies and large data files.

I took heed of the quote by Will Rogers, my signature, and stopped peeing on electric fences a long time ago. LMAO
