Solving the problem of Vista's "small housing area" problem

Why is the software installed outside the system partition, but the system partition will become smaller and smaller? There are a lot of software, its main program and related data files can be specified to the system during installation. Other partitions outside the partition, but they have some special files (such as special function dll files, configuration files, font files, etc.) may also be copied to the system directory. In addition, the software writes the registry information will cause the registry file to become larger, the temporary folder will leave the software installation residue, etc., which will occupy a lot of system partition space.

The little troubles of the little

These two days, CFan Xiaobian is particularly special and particularly annoying. It turned out that when he installed Vista, he had already reserved a 15GB partition for Vista according to Microsoft's suggestion. However, with more and more software installed, the space of the system partition gradually became crowded. In the past two days, Microsoft has released the Vista SP1 RC patch package. The installation requires that the remaining space of the system disk where Vista is located must have 7GB, otherwise it will not be installed. If you repartition, not only will you reinstall Vista, but many applications will have to be reinstalled at a cost.

A friend of mine, watching him so anxious, can sit and watch, so I recommended him two kinds of solutions for the system partition expansion of Vista. This will save you from having to reinstall the system.

Scenario 1: Single Vista user expansion (Vista installed on the first partition C drive)

Although Vista itself has a lossless partition component, it cannot expand the partition where the system is located. There are two main types of internal and external power to expand the system disk.

Internal Power: To put it bluntly, it is to make room for the system disk by optimizing system settings, such as deleting junk files and transferring system page file locations.

Applicable users: There is enough space for Vista (15GB or more), but the space is insufficient due to improper system settings. This method is safe and has no side effects and is recommended for beginners.

Risk: ★

1. Delete junk files. After using Vista for a period of time, the system will leave a lot of junk files. The garbage removal can be done by using the "Disk Cleanup" component. Click “Start → All Programs & Rarr; Attachments & Rarr; System Tools & Rarr; Disk Cleanup & rdquo; After booting the disk cleanup, select “ Clean all user files & rdquo;, then select “ Clean C drive & rdquo;, check For all the files to be deleted, click “OK”. Just select “hibernate file cleaner&rquo; you can reclaim 0.99GB of space (see Figure 1).

2. Reset the virtual memory location. By default, system virtual memory is located in the system partition, and the size is 1.5 times the physical memory, such as 1GB memory users, virtual memory takes up 1.29GB. Therefore, we can transfer virtual memory to other partitions to reduce the system partition burden.
