I have a 3gb drive (drive C) as well as a partitioned drive 2gb E and 1gb F) I need help with?

I have a "C" drive that everything I install is on, and I have an E drive (2gb) and an F drive (1gb) that is one drive partitioned into the 2 (E%26amp;F) and I want to put my printer/scanner/copier, as well as my webcam onto one of the other drives (E or F) so I can free up space on "C" drive because it's dangerously low on space.


I am not sure if my explanation is enough for you to be able to help (I'm guessing thru my explanation) but the easy version is I have 3gb of space on two drives (one 3gb partitioned) and I can't put anything onto them because I don't know how or what do do to accomplish this.


I'd appreciate any help anyone can give me. I would like to save information given so if you would e-mail me info at diggit4now@yahoo.com I'd appreciate it, but first let me know on here that info is coming. Thanx

Your best option is to move your page file from C to E. This will free up probably half a GB of space and speed your computer up. Let me know if you want more details.
Reply:Sorry to sound like a jerk, but comeon. get off a penny and go buy a new harddrive. you can get a 40 gig for under $50 bucks now. if you really need to install your printer on e or f just change the instalation destenation ( change c to e or f in the box that pops up during install)...
Reply:as far as i know, each computer is different. my computer had a D drive, and a C drive, my c drive is called local disk, its an NTFS system, and my D drive is, Fat32, i use windows xp sp2. if u want to free up sapce, u can get norton partition magic, and partition the e drive, or F drive, then u will have room for your printer and etc!








u can email me at MasterRaffi@yahoo.com, and tell me if it helped.
Reply:perhaps you haven't heard the news that 300gb hard disks are on the market. buy one of these and your troubles are over in an instant. buy two and you're set for life.
Reply:Easy deinstall your peripherals you want to install using add/change programs on the control panel, the reinstall them from your source media, specifying a path other than C: etc. as the install path.





Its generally easier to move data files and directories than programs around. Start by running disk_cleanup which will help you clean up you C: drive. Next, do a search using windows search from the start button, specifying files that are larger than say 100000 kb. See if you can get rid of any of these monsters. Consider moving programs as a last resort





Another "trick" you can play is to move a large directory "en mass" to another drive and use the subst dos command to make the system "think" its stillon the C: drive
Reply:When you are loading the hardware and the pop-up for where to load or save, just browse and save to the E or F drive
