    Judging by your title, is there something wrong with the disk and you cannot boot from it or what?

    We need more information, Please look here.

    how do i unlock my topic anyway?
    I locked your other topic because we don't want users posting more than once.
    Otherwise, it will start getting confusing.

    Go to My Computer, Right Click Local Disk C and go to Properties.
    Exactly how much Free Space and Used Space do you have?

    How many other Drives do you have in My Computer?

    Also, Download and install CCleaner
    Once installed, make sure you check the following boxes:
    Internet Explorer --> Temporary Files
    Mozilla Firefox (if you have it) --> Internet Cache
    System --> Temporary Files
    Sytem --> Empty Recycle Bin

    That will clean your computer of unnecessary files and should free up some space.

        Ok, I've moved it to the Apple Section.
        Someone will be along shortly. In the mean time, I will be gone for about 26 hours.
