MEMORY CARD SHOWING FULL BUT WHEN CAMERA CONNECTED TO DOWNLOAD TO LAPTOP OR DESKTOP ITS SHOWING FREE SPACE AND USED SPACE BUT NOT SHOWING ANY PICTURES AND VIDEOS,

Save the pictures and videos on the card. Try reformatting the card in the computer, and then again using the camera. The first reformat will ensure the card is empty, and then the camera reformat will ensure that it is recognized by the camera. If the camera reformat will not work, try a new card.

Philips Voice Tracer 860 Files are empty Cannot record - says all files are full tried everything - followed manual exactly - no results

Hi, from the above explanation which is a general problem to most philips voice tracers, i can tell the that the system is corrupt which means it has to be formatted and if after formatting the problem still persist, then am afraid you have to get a new one.....

Take care

I am trying to free up space on my c drive in order to install a game. I have deleted everything not essential. I have 33 g on my D drive, is there anyway i can move that space over to c?

Yes you can. Your OS needs to be Win XP Professional in this case and needs to be NTFS.
This is called 'Mount Drive'.
A Mounted Drive is a drive that is mapped to an empty folder on a volume that uses the NTFS file system. Mounted drives function as any other drives, but they are assigned drive paths instead of drive letters. When you view a mounted drive in Windows Explorer, it appears as a drive icon in the path in which it is mounted.

You can also use mounted drives when you need additional storage space on a volume. If you map a folder on that volume to another volume with available disk space (for example, 20 gigabytes), you extend the storage space of the volume by 20 gigabytes (GB).

This is how to.... loadTOCNode(2, 'moreinformation');
  1. Click Start, click Run, and then type compmgmt.msc in the Open box.
  2. In the left pane, click Disk Management.
  3. Right-click the partition or volume that you want to mount, and then click Change Drive Letter and Paths.
  4. Click Add.
  5. Click Mount in the following empty NTFS folder (if it is not already selected), and then use one of the following steps:
    • Type the path to an empty folder on an NTFS volume, and then click OK.
    • Click Browse, locate the empty NTFS folder, click OK, and then click OK.
    • If you have not yet created an empty folder, click Browse, click New Folder to create an empty folder on an NTFS volume, type a name for the new folder (eg. Games), click OK, and then click OK.
  6. Quit the Disk Management snap-in
I hope this has helped.

Loss of space on junk drive

With it plugged in, open the Recycle Bin on your Desktop and see if all your deleted files are in there.... if they are, empty the Recycle Bin & all your space will be freed up.

If that is not the problem, reformat the Cruzer and all your space should be available again.

If not, your Cruzer is defective.

Low memory

It could be that when you re-partitoned it you left some empty space out of the partition. Or are you looking at Ram- which is usually refered to as memory as opposed to Hard drive space. Which you can usually see by going to my computer and clicking on your Local C: Drive

You will need to reformat it. Unplug the device, replug in a different usb port, Go to My computer, Right click the drive and select Format. Select Quick format, and try again to use the device.
