I keep getting a message that my D drive is out of space,the back up drive now what can I do after running disk clean up

I don't think Disk Cleanup will be of much help. Is 'D' drive a partition or is it a separate hard drive? If you only have one drive installed then 'D' drive is a partition and you may be able to increase its size. However, that depends on how large the hard drive is and how much room you have left on the 'C' drive.

Please tell us a little bit about your PC so we can provide you some advice on how to proceed.

If it is a restore partition, firstly Vista should be unable to see it and secondly it should change size :Scared:

More info please. Make, model of PC etc

For the info that is need to really assist you. suggest you Download BELARC (it is FREE) run the program. then save as .txt open in notepad remove the KEYS or Serial Numbers , then resave and post so it can be viewed by the local GURU's... without knowing more exact info on your system. it will be VERY HARD to assist properly.

I did a reformat,that worked,but I still can't get the computer to stay in sleep mode,I have done all the things that HP said to try,with Vista it's one thing are other

[felix8406]

Why did you reformat the HD? Did you reformat the whole drive or just the "D" drive? Did HP tell you to reformat and why? If that's the case, that's not a good advice. Another thing is that most PC sold with a "C" and "D" partition have "Documents" on Vista or "My Documents" on Win XP point to the "D" drive. Every document a user creates is automatically saved within the "D" drive. If the drive is formatted, all documents can be lost.

Did you have the Sleep issue before reformatting the drive?

[norcal56]

yes I had the sleep issue before reformating,I had other isues too,now everything is back to new excepy for the sleep issue,I think it has to do with the mouse opt/wirless mic 6000 why is reformating not good it is so new I didn't have much to replace.its like i just bought it now.vista seems to me to be way to touchy/Google/urge/ nothing smooth ! I have had troubles with them too.what next ~paul

[crabby]

Many sleep issues are fixed by updating hardware options and disabling 'wake on' features.

Is this a NEW Factory Sold system? If yes, can you send the factory link so we can see what all the system HAS or had as Factory NEW. Apparently your not sure how many HDD's or partitions you have. Did HP give you restore disks? Is this unit a Refub? Did you buy thru HP or some store? If a store what store? Is this a Factory Vista Install or Vista Upgraded from XP?
and Why did HP tell you to FORMAT instead of using RESTORE Disk, or the Restore option in the computer.

Woops: Checking the Web site. HP 8000 is a Laserjet printer.. with 2000 sheet tray. The Actual Model would help instead of the generic.
