Re: increasing partitioned drive / raw files

Tech Tip: Click here to run a free scan for Windows Errors and optimize PC performance



There are third party programs that can resize partitions. Partition
Magic comes to mind.
For the second question, when adding the 300G hard drive to your system
did you properly set the jumper to Master, Slave or Cable Select which ever
is appropriate? If SATA drive are drivers needed? You can rt click
MyComputer>select
Manage>Disk Management. If the drive shows up there you can assign it a
drive letter. Once the drive is initialized you can
access it and remove any files you need and then format or do a scan disk.

Good Morning, I have 2 questions.

1st Question:

I have 140 gig HD in my computer, after installation it only shows 134.6
gigs. When it was installed they put 14.6 gigs for my C: Drive and 120
gigs
for my D: Drive.

My question is can i take some space from my D:drive and addit to my C:
drive, because its almost full? I only have 612 MB left.


2nd Question

I have a 300 gig hard drive that was from my old computer and want to add
it
but it says that has to be formatted. When i run a check disk on it. It
tells
me that check disk is not available for RAW drives. I would like to save
some
documents from there.

Any suggestions before formatting?
