Default 2 partition drive

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?

2. What do you keep on each of them?

3. Did you set up the partitions, and with what purpose? What advantages did
you plan to get by dividing things as you did?

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).

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..
