2 partition drive
"edsareus" wrote in message
... "Ken Blake" wrote: "edsareus" wrote in message ... I am running out of space on my 1st drive C and wonder what I could move from the C drive to the D drive to make more room on the first drive? Before answering your question. please answer the following questions: 1. How big is each of the partitions? C is 17.0 GB and D is 17.2 GB 2. What do you keep on each of them? On C: Documents and Settings, Drivers, Windows, Sysinfo (and a little more of this and that). On D: My Documents, Dias, Pictures and a few other small folders. 3. Did you set up the partitions, and with what purpose? What advantages did you plan to get by dividing things as you did? No I didn´t set up the partitions myself, they were there when I bought the computer (new). You have a total of 34GB? By today's standards that's tiny. The best solution to your problem is not moving things form one partition to another but buying a new bigger drive, either as a replacement or as a second drive.. |

You are probably right in that it is tiny, but I don´t use it that much. I have however been thinking of buying a new computer and maybe now is the time. Thanks for your help! Monica |

The best solution to your problem is not moving things form one partition to another but buying a new bigger drive, either as a replacement or as a second drive.. Yes it is tiny these days, but moving files to free up space might be the ideal solution (and free) depending on her usage. If it's modest, and the machine is only used, say, for web browsing, e-mail and creating relatively small documents, and disk space consumption is comparatively slow, I'd say there isn't really any need to buy a new disk and go through the hassle of reinstalling/imaging. Not yet, anyway. That said, it's something of a moot point if Monica is going to buy a new computer anyway! |

Well, if you don´t think I need to buy a new computer, since I don´t use that much space, my original question remains; what could I move from the cCdrive to the D-drive? Monica |

Well, if you don´t think I need to buy a new computer, since I don´t use that much space, my original question remains; what could I move from the cCdrive to the D-drive? Monica And my original answer stands! From Monday: "Data you've created - eg MS Office documents, digital photos, music, downloaded files. You could look into relocating/repointing your e-mail storage, your "My Documents" folder, your pagefile, your Temporary Internet Files folder (if you want details on any of these, just ask). Clear down temporary files and browser cache. If any large programs or games installed to C:\, you might want to uninstall and reinstall to D:\ (being careful to hunt down and preserve any "game save" folders/files. If C:\ and D:\ are on the same physical disk and if you've a good backup system, you might want to consider repartitioning so that you only have C:\, so that you don't end up having to do this all again in a few months' time when space becomes short again. Or just buy a larger hard drive and reinstall (or go the drive-imaging route with it). " |
