Last year I installed a second hard drive, formatted and partitioned it into six drives(d,e,f,...). Now I still get messages when trying to download that there is no room on the "c" drive. How can I get the browsers I'm using to look for a drive other than "C". Thanks for your help. Jerry

Hi, I don't know what browser you are using, but IE always asks to what drive and into which folder you wish to save downloaded file. (I think other browsers must do that either.) Just select some folder on your second drive. And then when you download a file it can be temporary stored in Temporary Internet Files folder located on your C: drive. In that case saving file to 2nd drive not solve your problem, but you can try a few steps to increase free space on C: drive: 1. To clear Temporary Internet Files folder and Windows\Temp folder. 2. Move windows swap file to other drive with more free space. 3. Reinstall some applications to another drive to free additional space on C: drive. Hope this help, Igor M

Just curious, why did you make 6 partitions?

when u do an download it always comes up with a dialog box (netscape or IE) and shows u where it will save the file. Change the C: to whatever drive u want to save the file. Also, if u install a new program u get the same thing. Usually, it asks u if u wanna save it to a certain location and there will be a 'browse' button to the right if u wanna change the default. Then, ONLY change the letter of the drive. DON'T hit ENTER first, OR start to type ANYTHING. The whole location will be highlighted and if u hit enter or start to type, it will erase it. All u want to do is change the drive location, not the rest of the path. Use the mouse to click and put the insertion point just before the 'C' and the press delete once and then type 'D' or 'E' or 'F.' Oh... this is for the guy who asked a question. Mr. none ???? hahaha If the original C: drive was FAT16 than all other drives must also be FAT16 which means a drive larger than 2048MB MUST be partitioned. You can't mix FAT16 and FAT32 drives in the same operating system.

Correction to mike, you may indeed mix FAT16 and FAT32 drives. i.e. under an installation of Win98 or 95, you may set the c: drive to FAT32 and leave the rest of the drives in FAT16. In fact you may pick and choose which partitions you wish to create as FAT32 and which you wish to leave as FAT16. Partition Magic is a great tool for this exact task. BTW, converting to FAT32(4kb address)and splitting the drives into partitions will give you a drastic increase in space.
