is my computer running on a 3GB drive?
« on: September 16, 2007, 10:46:19 PM »
my computer has two disk drives. the C drive is 35 GB and the E drive is 3GB. everything i install is saved into the smaller drive. so i pretty much have no programs on my computer because of that. i cant install anything without it telling me that there's not enough disk space. how do i change my computer so that it starts saving on the C drive? or do i need to install a new hard drive?

    When you save sth does it offer you where to save? I mean when you install a program it should show you the location where it 's gonna save the it. So you can change it to the other drive just choosing browse.

    yes it does. i change it so that it saves in the larger drive but it still tells me there's not enought room because of the smaller drive.

      What are the free spaces in both drives?

      on the C: drive there's 11.4GB of free space.
      on the E: drive it's always changing. when i turn it on there's usually less than 100MB so i always end up doing a disk cleanup. but that usually doesn't help so i restart and then it'll usually have at least 200MB. but then it goes down again when i use the internet, until everything stops working and pages close because there's no more disk space left on the the E: drive.

      I would suggest adding another drive for storage...3G is not much for today's overly bloated programs etc.
