In order to get more space , " compress " your disk. In my OS ( home
premium ), I'll click Computer > highlight recovery disk, right click >
Properties > Compress. Hope that helps.

Can you be a bit more explicit:
What precisely do you mean by "I need to make room for my hp recovery " and
why should that affect your backup?
Where are you wanting to make a backup to, and what disk is full?

I think we need to know what the OP means by "making room for the HP
recovery" first....

the D drive). The documentation that came with your PC will show you how to
make recovery disks.

emptied my trash and deleted as much stuff as I could, which I found out
doesn't make a difference. I also want to make a back disc(s) and it say not
enough room to make a shadow copy. I've had to do restore files (to a better
day) a few times because of the computer not working right, would that affect
the restore disk as far as filling it up?

computer! It ONLY comes into play when you use the Restore CD/DVD that came
with your computer....
System Restore does NOT have ANYTHING to do with the "Restore" partition.

Please, please listen to Bob and Mick. Do not "touch" the restore disk
drive anymore than you already had. Get yourself an external hard drive
and do your files backup there. External hard drive can be had for less
than $100 ( if you're in U.S., I'm from Canada , it would cost me
more.)If you need recommendations, post the question and you'll have all
the excellent replies. Thank you.

compression. There was nothing extra to delete when I opened it. But, I
don't understand why I'm getting the message that it's full and also why I
can't perform a back up without getting the message that it's unable to make
a shadow copy due to the the disc not having enough space. Do I just ignore
the message that the D disk is full? Why has it gone from being 60% full to
just having 70MB remaining?
davidjchuang
experts. Do not touch the recovery drive. Get an external hard drive and
do your files backup to it. Just leave the recovery drive alone. Don't
worry about "disk full", it's aok. Thank you.

Have you not read ANY of the messages in this thread? If the D drive is the
Recovery Partition that came with the computer, DO NOT TOUCH IT!!!!! It is
NOT MEANT TO BE USED other than when you use the Recovery CD that was
supplied by your computer's manufacturer.

followed the suggestions given by 'davidjchuang'.

create recovery CDs (up to 16) or DVDs (up to 3). The manufacturer did not
provide them. They are for the user to create. Do so before they are needed.

first came out. This has been a total nightmare and I can't wait until this
computer dies so I can go to a MAC. My RECOVERY (C) drive states that it's
full and my computer keeps telling me to clear files which I have nothing to
clear. My (D) drive has tons of space. Is there a way of moving everything
from the (C) drive to the (D) drive? Also, why when I save things can't I
save it to the (D) drive where I have the space?

except for the gentleman that told me that back ups need to be done on the D
disk. Actually Gateway resolved the issue for me. One side is the restore
partition and is "guarded", there is additional operational information and
then through no fault of mine, some extra info was on there. Gateway has a
whole tutorial how to resolve the full D disk. It's always the same file
that needs to be deleted, for example JohnSmith-pc, I found that with my name
on it, deleted, finished the nec steps, restarted my computer and my D disk
was less than half full, turned back to a blue strip indicating how full it
was instead of the red one that indicated it was full. Now I can do back
ups, without getting the message "not enough room to create Shadow copy",
I'm not getting the message to delete unnecessary files and folders to make
more room on D Disk and all around I have better performance and even the
BSODs seem to have been resolved. I hope that I have accurately described
this remedy, I don't know if only Gateway has this tutorial or not. I felt
like I was yelled at by a tech last time I posted on here and I'm probably
posting in the incorrect area. I hope this helps someone as I keep seeing
this issue being brought up over and over with the same type of responses I
received.
