memory problem with divided hard drive
« on: December 24, 2008, 09:31:30 PM »
I have an ancient (7 yrs) Sony vaio that suits me fine except that my c drive is mostly full( 680mb free out of 7.8 gb) . This drive is the other partition of a d drive which is 10.1gb, which is mostly empty.  How can I get some of the programs from the c drive to the d drive???

This notebook uses Windows xp.

You can't. Programs have to be reinstalled. Still, even if you reinstall programs to drive D, some programs' files have to reside on Windows partition (C). Your best option is to move some data files (pictures, movies, etc.), or repartition your hard drive, or get bigger drive.
Whatever you do, Windows needs at least 15% of drive C to be free (1.2GB in your case).

You can mover all of My Documents onto the other partition.
