    Disk clean-up and removal of old wndows updates etc. not reflected in properties


    I have been trying to solve some issues with my son's Omen gaming PC.

    Drive c is full, and removing files via Disk clean-up does not seem to have been reflected with no change in properties.

    When I try to uninstall apps I am getting error messages inc. 112 not enough disk space.

    Is there a way to re-index the drive and calculate space used?

    :)

    Disk boot failure after removing old Vista partition


    Thank you for the reply, muchomurka! As I indicated in my post, I have already tried all the steps you suggested to no avail:

    - I cannot choose startup repair since the computer does not boot from the installation media
    - I cannot use command prompt since the computer does not boot further than the POST screen
    - I have disconnected and tried out all hard drives individually.

    Since I had Win 10 up and running a few hours ago, I can say with 100% certainty that none of the hardware is faulty.

    The real mystery is, how come the system won't boot from any media without an empty disk containing an old Vista boot sector being on top of the boot priority list? And which steps to take now that I've cleaned this disk and it does not exist anymore?

    Would appreciate any ideas and pointers!

    Can't safely remove external disk

    In reference to the steps of your suggestions:

    • The issue is specific to the particular disk and it started after I've used the disk to save the System image backup (created with the Control Panel > File History tool).
    • I didn't disable any windows Service. I'm just wondering if there is any to disable.
    • Safe boot with networking, or clean boot doesn't resolve the issue.

    Thank you.

    Disk offline because it has signature collision with another disk online

    Based on your suggestion such as "You may clean old disk to remove all information from it and reinitialize it. Run diskpart utility and use clean command. Be careful to not clean new disk.

    Change identifier using uniqueid command of diskpart. "

    what will be the next step?
