Mad Bean November 7, 2007 Share Mad Bean November 7, 2007 Hey guys, I'm having a little issue and I know you guys will be able to help. My pc has 200GB of harddrive space and I have it divided into 5 different sectors C thru H. My issue is, that drive C only has 970MB of space left and I want to free up some of that onto the other drives. Would it be better to move some programs to the other drives or can I consolidate some of the other drive? If I move some programs, how do I do that and what is the best way to do it?

mookie November 8, 2007 Share mookie November 8, 2007 Ideally if there's some junk you can just move that'd be what I'd do. Otherwise I'd relocate some larger programs. Some programs you should be able to move and do a fast reinstall/repair install to the new directory, but if you have problems this might help: http://www.gamrs.co/forums/in...showtopic=33569 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[LaW]Maverick November 8, 2007 Share [LaW]Maverick November 8, 2007 On a side note... There's really no good reason to partition drives anymore, and it causes problems when you run low on space (as I'm sure you're seeing now) My advice? Back up you stuff and kill the partitions Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can reinstall windows and still have your media/music partition Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mad Bean November 8, 2007 Author Share Mad Bean November 8, 2007 Thats what I was thinking about just having 2 partitions. I really just want to move itunes and adobe photoshop to one of the other partitions that has more space. I'm just concerned about losing data and I'm not totally sure how to move them and the best way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

akaM2 November 27, 2007 Share akaM2 November 27, 2007 You know of any free solutions like http://www.symantec.com/norton/products/ov...p&pvid=pm80Can he delete say 2 or 3 of his partitions and then create 1 bigger partition? Can he do this within windows for free?http://www.ranish.com/part/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Metallurgic November 27, 2007 Share Metallurgic November 27, 2007 (edited) Unless you have Photoshop and iTunes highly customized, I would just uninstall/reinstall onto another partition. As for resizing and moving existing partitions, I have no experience with that. Edited November 27, 2007 by Metallurgic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
