1) By deleting programs, and applications you do not use. (NOTHING connected to Windows)
2) By copying off personal documents to disk, flash drive, etc. Photos, videos, music, personal documents you have created, or downloaded.
If the recovery files on on Drive:D, do not think about expanding Drive: C to Drive:D
Leave Drive:D alone. You need those recovery files, and they need to be on a separate drive. (Harddrive is partitioned into two areas; Drive:C, and Drive:D Equate it to a room, that has now had a wall out through it, making it into two rooms)
Do you have a Recovery Partition on D? You need to expand C.: You do not what to name, leave as unallocated space. Take a look a this expand procedure: http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows-vista/resize-a-partition-for-free-in-windows-vista/
There are three levels of data recovery depending on the condition of the drive.
Level 1: The drive was formatted or files were merely deleted. Assuming you haven't copied anything new to the drive. Download a data recovery program such as Recurva and run a deep scan on the drive. If it finds your data select it and select a different drive to copy it too. Once recovered you can put it back on the external drive.
Level 2: The drive isn't functioning, parts have to be replaced. Data recovery engineers can do this typical cost around ~$550
Level 3: The platters have to be extracted in a clean room and moved to another drive. data recovery engineers do this, typical cost ~$1500+
From what you described above "recovery D drive full", this is your recovery partition and you should not be using it as a file storage. Plug in your external drive again, I bet you find that its drive letter is not D.
When you start to create the RECOVERY MEDIA your machine is creating a virtual file [a temporary one...] that includes all parameters and drivers and system files of your operating system; once the temporary file is done the recovery files are written on the indicated media [a hard drive or a DVD/CD]. Because of the huge size of the file [the temporary one] you need enough room for the virtual file to be created. So you got your error message just because you DON'T HAVE ENOUGH ROOM on your hard drive. My suggestion is: find an external drive [a USB attached hard drive] and make the RECOVERY MEDIA there. Meanwhile try to clean up a little bit your hard drive by using that application in Windows called DISK CLEANER [START > ALL PROGRAMS > ACCESSORIES > DISK TOOLS > DISK CLEANER].
My best regards! ... and don't forget to RATE, please...
The Recovery Drive is Drive D.
Somehow the destination of the Documents and Settings got changed to this drive.
Restore the My Documents Folder to Its Default Location
To restore the My Documents folder to its default location, follow these steps:
Click Start , and then point to My Documents. Right-click My Documents, and then click Properties. Click Restore Default, and then click OK. In the Move Documents box, click Yes to move your documents to the new location, or click No to leave your documents in the original location.
If you think you have the expertise and have an identical drive and also get lucky, it can be done. The cleanroom helps too. The bigger issue here is that you have data you so desperately need but you have no backup of that data. Always have a backup.
Clicking noise means hard drive physical damage. When that happens the data inside hard drive is lost.
If data is very important it can be sent to a recovery facility with a clean room 100, that is a special room where hard disk can be opened. The repair is over $600, and does not guarantee success.
Unless the data inside is really important, data inside hard disk (when clicking) is considered beyond recovery.
I don`t know if it has anything at all to do with the router. problem is, th e Recovery drive is almost full, is there a way to free up some space ?
