Re: harddrive partitions

Hi, I have an 80 gig harddrive and it's partitioned into two drives C and D.
The C drive is allocated 20 gigs and the D drive has the rest. My system is a
sony vaios and it was configured this way when I purchased it. My problem is
this, the C drive is nearly full and I've moved as many programs as I could
to the D drive. But the C drive is still full, Is there a way to change the
partition size or remove it with out losing an information? Disc cleanup
only helps so far and i've defarged with no real resultes. Can you help?

You will need a 3rd party partition manager like Partition Magic to resize the
partitions nondestructively.

In the mean time:

Uninstall some applications and re-install them on the D: drive.

Ensure Internet Explorer only uses about 5-10 MB for Temporary Internet
Files.

Clear out all temporary files in all your Temp directories. There may be
one under Windows, and others in Documents & Settings under each user name in
the Local Settings folder.

If you use Outlook Express, move the Message Store to a folder on the D:
drive.

Move the pagefile to the D: drive.
