hard drive is full and want my space back but don't want to format. i need steps to get it back and the OS is XP 2
Have you considered... 1. Deleting some files?
2. Copying the entire drive to a new, larger drive?
If it's full, it's full. What do you want any of us to do? - delete old files
- offload important files to an external drive or CD/DVD discs
- uninstall old programs that you no longer use
- delete all the files in your temp folder(s)
- clear out all the accumulated internet garbage. If you've never changed the settings, IE stores 20 days worth of history & temp internet files. Get a cleaning program such as CCleaner-Slim & use it regularly:
