Lost 45 GB hard disk space
I had a simular problem on my laptop running Home Premium. I disabled the Shadow Copy service (dont know why it was running as its not suposed to be available on Home Premuim) and then ran ccleaner and defraged a few times, and the space came back. -- RedDevil Posted via http://www.vistaheads.com

Thanks, but how to i find out and if so How do I get rid of it?? Thanks so much "barracuda" wrote: Hi, I am not 100% sure of this, but I think it may have happened if you used the -normal- defrag mode on a volume shadow copy (VSS) enabled volume. When defrag commences, I -think- the VSS makes backup copies of files that are being moved about or something, and that causes an increase in space occupied. It's best if you use the -VSS -compatible- defrag mode of Diskeeper 2008 with Vista to avoid conflict between defragmentation and VSS. Not many defraggers have this very useful option- Diskeeper is one of the very few, if not the only one. Again, let me reiterate that this is only a guess, you may want to double check the VSS-Diskeeper thing. -- barracuda ------------------------------------------------------------------------ barracuda's Profile: http://forums.techarena.in/member.php?userid=28186 View this thread: http://forums.techarena.in/showthread.php?t=912316 http://forums.techarena.in

Click continue. Scroll down the services untill you see VOLUME SHADOW COPY. Right click on it and go to properties. Under service status click on STOP. On START UP TYPE change it to MANUAL. This will stop it from running when you boot up your PC. -- RedDevil Posted via http://www.vistaheads.com
