Compression INCREASED data size and completely filled drive!
I received message that C drive was nearly full. To my surprise discovered it was true. I have 148GB C drive and 153GB E drive with 240GB free. Programs inc Windows on C, data on E. Windows 7 with 64 bit, AMD A4-5300 processor 4GB RAM.
I moved a few things from C to E to make a bit more room and then set about compressing C - but that stopped and to my astonishment I found that there was now NO room at all left on C.
How could that happen? Could it be anything to do with allowing indexing of content (which was already set up)? If I untick compress drive will that reduce the size on drive back to what it was? As it stands at present I doubt if I could even defragment the drive to obtain more room.
Would it be possible/easy to move some programs from C to E but maintain their connections with Registry?
