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). 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.. |
