godspeed4476 Posted November 30, 2008 Report Share Posted November 30, 2008 I think VSS (Volume Shadow Service) is enabled on this laptop since it's Vista. Try these steps to see if this is correct. 1. Run CMD as administrator. 2. Type " vssadmin list shadowstorage " without the quotes. 3. See the allocated size. If it is above 3 GB then go to step 4. 4. Type " vssadmin Resize ShadowStorage /For=C: /On=C: /Maxsize=3GB " Do let us know the results. thks a lot mate for the suggestion.......around 35 gb of space was allocated to system memory and abt 25gb of it was occupied byt it........am in process of deleting these fuking shadow files and resizing its capacity to 4gb...... btw i was just abt to format the HDD when i tried out u r method, saved me a loads of trouble thks mate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D33P@K Posted December 1, 2008 Report Share Posted December 1, 2008 Hell yes. Grab it. It's the best buy in that budget. i can't recommend it enough. As long as you're not using it for graphic design you're good to go (for movies, games, surfing ect). Get it. the price for the above monitor is 12k now... so i have almost decided to buy it....
