You will have to, using a 3rd party backup/restore program [free or fee, there are many of 'em out there], make a backup of your entire data, pics, music library folders onto an external media such as a USB stick [64 or 128GB], or hard-drive [either SSD or platter-clatter]. After the OS reinstall, copy back your goodies. I suggest eventually having two partitions, one for OS & all programs, the other for all your created and downloaded txt, doc, pic, music files.

How large is the drive ?

Create a partition on it and copy the files there.

Post a shot of disk management, fully expanded.

well then it is horrible
there is 560gb of tv
162 gb of movies
all sitting users

why cant i make a folder outside windows and move the videos over

 

[sdowney717]

it is a 1 tb drive with 800gb used up

You can make a folder outside windows, but you only have 131 GB left to use out of the 1 TB drive.

You need another storage drive.

Or.... get a Solid State drive to install windows on


Why do you have to re install windows ?

Hi then i would suggest getting an external drive to put the files you want saved. you should have one anyways so you have a backup if anything goes wrong.

 

[sdowney717]

i thought whenyou moved files they were deleted from original spot freeing the space

my windows problem is i installed a tuner card. windows update ran updates and afterwards all video is stop motion jerky.
i tried restore point but errored.
now i am doing all updates to see if helps.
windows works but video is awful. so i am thinking might have to wipe it out.
any ideas?

Your WMC recordings are saved to the drive you selected as "recorded TV".

If you haven't changed the default which is "C", move them before you do a reinstall.

In the future, make a backup image.

I keep all my recordings on a different drive - don't want my C drive taking up space.

Search Results - Macrium Software

What is the purpose of the tuner card ?

What program do you use to watch videos ?

This is the best VideoLAN - Official page for VLC media player, the Open Source video framework!

I had 2 atsc tuner cards, everything was great.
I installed a third card, update had to update itself to retrieve the drivers.
The card failed to work properly. The other 2 cards still worked.
I removed the third tuner card.
The computer now shows TV and videos all jerky, stops and starts on second intervals.

I tried system restore point, it failed with error.

So I now am doing all updates.
If that does niot works maybe run combo fix
if that does not work delete windows.

I guess there wont be any more help from you then! :huh:

 

[sdowney717]

Well you know what, If I figure out how to fix it, I will post back later. But if no one else wants to help, then don't bother with snarky comments? And if you dont like this thread, then report it and have it deleted.
Shoot delete my whole account while your at it.

 

[PSCO2007]

I tried to help you, but hadn't read your second dup post before my answer.

 

[AddRAM]

Well, I have another option if you`d like to hear it.

But may I ask, if everything was great, why another tuner card ?

And why 3 cards in 1 PC ?
