PLEASE HELP! My Sony notebook has a C:-3Gb & D:-7Gb drive . The C: drive is full and out of space after I have deleted all unnecessary items. Programs will not open properly. The D: drive however is mostly empty. How can I use this available space so my computer will operate. Can space be transfered or can I convert this to one hard drive? I am completely clueless, but in need of desperate help.

hello you can use partion magic and expand the c: partion into d: and use as much of it as you wish. if you dont mind a tottle reformat and loseing all your data you might want to fdisk and remove the existing partions. for fdisk how to goto www.burzurq.com and try these things in this link to give your computer a tune up. how to run m.e well verion 5 http://www.burzurq.com/forum/trevtweak.html

if you go to this web address it will give you step by step instructions on how to partation & format.. http://www.uk.gateway.com/manuals/desktop/hdd/HDInstall-guide/index.htm

When you say "deleted all unnecessary items" you still are using 3Gb on a boot drive which is a lot really for apps and operating system. You will have a lot of problems using the swapfile which will mean you get errors stating the system could not write to drive C. My suggestion - do some serious housekeeping on drive C - only keep the operating system and program files on there. ALL your data files (ones you created in applications, whatever they may be) including music, movies, pics, documents (the lot) should be stored on the D Drive so you free up some space. I have over 60 apps installed on my ME partition but it still only uses 2Gb, all my data is elsewhere. The resilience in this approach to drives is that if your operating system crashes or C drive dies, you only have to reinstall your operating system and applications again and do not lose any of your own data files, as they are on another drive. Hope this helps, and apologies if you have already done this! If you have personally I'd make the D drive bootable, partition it and clone the C: drive onto it using Ghost and swap the drive connectors over, so you boot from the bigger drive. Once this is working, you can clean off the C drive and use that as your data storage for your own files. Mark

Didn't know you could wack a 2nd HDD in a Sony Notebook Just use Partition Magic and move all in My Documents to D partition ...lol ;) JIM

You have a point there Jim... Waylost - are you using one drive split into two partitions or two separate physical drives as your original post suggests? If it's two drives, my original advices still stands, but if it's two partitions on the same drive, move the swapfile to the second partition for a start, then do the rest of your filemoving much as both Jim and I suggested.
