Hi,
As far as I can tell only sharing between disks is the system boot loader is on disk 2 fairly normal with 2 disks
Op just hasn't been using the disk 2 much at all and disk 1 is 10gb's from being full.
Hi,
As far as I can tell only sharing between disks is the system boot loader is on disk 2 fairly normal with 2 disks
Op just hasn't been using the disk 2 much at all and disk 1 is 10gb's from being full.
The first 3 partitions on Disk 2 are Windows partitions.
At this point it's hardly worth looking at the update logs, given the very basic problem of disk space.
But I have had this problem for months and only very recently have I had low disk space. The only reason I didn't free space is because I want Windows to stop downloading the update because it's finishing my internet quota. I can instantly free up space no problem with that.
Given this information do you guys still believe the reason I can't update is the partitions being on separate disks? This "$WINDOWS.~TMP" file didn't use to be in my D: file. Maybe it just put it there because there was no space in C: and has nothing to do with me not being able to upgrade?
Hi,
No C is full is pretty much why.
Plus what ever else you have done to limit updating the FCU is an update so you'll have to make up your mind if you want updates or not and undo the things to limit them from your data package.
I definitely want the updates, I cleared up 30 GB now, should that be enough? I can free up more space if need be.
Are these the steps I need to take now:
To get all windows partitions onto one disk, you would
- create an image of C:
- delete the Windows partitions on the other disk
- clean install Windows onto your system disk
- restore your image of C: in place of the newly created one
?
Edit: My Windows folder says Size: 27.2 GB, Size on Disk: 24,7 GB. So would it be ok if I had 40 GB free space on C:?
Hi,
How ever much will move all of your personal files
Then run disk cleanup as administrator

Restart and download 1709 to your desktop and run setup.exe
I really appreciate your help and sorry for asking this but I'm really confused as to what I'm doing at this point. What does running disk clean-up do exactly? Does it delete my personal files or are you telling me to move them because I will need the storage space? Will Windows still run after I do the disk cleanup, will I "Download 1709" through normal Windows Update procedures? Is this what we call a clean install? Do I not need an image of C:? Will I need a Windows installer CD?
