CHKDSK discovered free space marked as allocated in the
master file table (MFT) bitmap.

It did find some space that wasn't being used correctly.

Lets take a look at the hard drive and see what you have.

Go to

1: Start
2: My Computer
3: Right Click on "C" drive
4: Click on Properties
5: In this field it will tell you total drive space and also free space

Please include results in your next reply

OK no room left on the C drive. We need to get some free space opened up quickly.

Download TFC by OldTimer to your desktop

• Please double-click TFC.exe to run it. (Note: If you are running on Vista, right-click on the file and choose Run As Administrator).
• It will close all programs when run, so make sure you have saved all your work before you begin.
• Click the Start button to begin the process. Depending on how often you clean temp files, execution time should be anywhere from a few seconds to a minute or two. Let it run uninterrupted to completion.
• Once it's finished it should reboot your machine. If it does not, please manually reboot the machine yourself to ensure a complete clean.

Background info courtesy of DonnaB Thank you

As for TFC, this is a tidbit of an article I found a while back by a MicroSoft MVP.

TFC (Temp File Cleaner) will clear out all temp folders for all user accounts (temp, IE temp, java, FF, Opera, Chrome, Safari), including Administrator, All Users, LocalService, NetworkService, and any other accounts in the user folder. It also cleans out the %systemroot%\temp folder and checks for .tmp files in the %systemdrive% root folder, %systemroot%, and the system32 folder (both 32bit and 64bit on 64bit OSs). It shows the amount removed for each location found (in bytes) and the total removed (in MB).

Before running, it will stop Explorer and all other running applications. When finished, if a reboot is required the user must reboot to finish clearing any in-use temp files.
-- TFC only cleans temp folders.
-- TFC will not clean URL history, prefetch, or cookies. Depending on how often someone cleans their temp folders, their system hardware, and how many accounts are present, it can take anywhere from a few seconds to a minute or more. TFC will completely clear all temp files where other temp file cleaners may fail.

Download Auslogics Defrag from the link in my signature below. Auslogics Defrag in my opinion is better because:

It does a more comprehensive job at Defragging
It will actually show you what it is doing
At the end of working it will show you how much speed you picked up
You can view a online log of the files that Auslogics defragged
Please do not run any other Auslogics programs other then this one as they may cause unwanted results.

Ok rshaffer....btw do you have a first name????

Unfortunately, I have to leave the office shortly. But I will run these later and report back.

My name is Ron.

Hey Ron,

Good to meet you....and thanks for your help so far....

OK...ran the TFC and Auslogic Defrag....amazing...opened up free space to 7.68GB on the C Drive....

Are there any other things I must do to?

Regards

Greg

[rshaffer61]

Anymore BSOD's since running the two programs?

Anymore BSOD's since running the two programs?

No but I haven't been running anything near to my normal workload on the PC....so I haven't stressed the hardware at all...

Should I just continue as normal?

What programs do you suggest using for backup?

Should I plan to replace the hard drive?

Regards

Greg

[rshaffer61]

According to post 14 there are no issues with your main drive. Now if the reasoning is lack of space then I would agree a larger hard drive might be a good ideal or a external drive to save data like movies, videos or music to.

Backup is a personal decision but if you are looking to backup the whole drive you might take a look at Acronis True Image
