I assume you mean that your laptop is almost out of disk space, not memory.\n\nThere are many external hard drives that will plug into the USB port on your laptop and will store a lot of music.  I have purchased some that hold 250GB of storage for $129.  They are perfect for that type of application.  Just make sure that your laptop has USB ports (preferably USB 2.0).  Unless it is more than 5 years old, you should be fine.

What you are referring to as memory is called hard drive space.  These are two different things.\n\nYou can purchase a new hard drive with a larger capacity, or simply add another hard drive to the system.  The drive containing your Operating System (Most likely a version of Windows) is the system drive.  Installing a second drive as a slave will allow for additional space.  You can save your music, videos, games, etc here and, if you want, install a different Operating System (which you could do on your system drive as well).\n\n60GB should be plenty of space for you to install and play your game.  If you are low on space, this will slow your system down anyway.  Therefore, you should get rid of content on the drive that is useless such as programs you no longer use and trash files.

Find a program called Partition Magic.  It will let you re-allocate your E drive to make your C drive bigger.  The other option is to reinstall windows again and partition right this time.

You can also increase your page file. A page file is empty space on your hard drive that your system will use as extra memory. You can try to increase this by RIGHT-clicking on the My Computer icon, go to properties. Click on Advanced. Click Settings under performance.\nAgain, click the advanced Tab.\nNear the bottom, it should say Virtual memory. Click the Change button.\n\nMost systems will have system managed as default. If your "Currently Allocated" is near the recommended. I suggest entering a custom value. Depending on your system, 512-1024 is very sufficient. However...if your system starts to lag, you might want to play with it a lil. Hope this helps.

Go to My Computer, right click the drive on which you want to check the space on (usually drive C), click on Properties and it will open a window telling how many space is used up, how many free space you have left, and capacity your computer can hold.

The optimum thing to do would be to swap the drives and re-install windows on the 80 gig.  But unfortunately thats a lot of work as everything will have to be re-installed.\n\nYour only other option would be to move as much as possible over to your drive D:. Data, files, anything you can. You won't be able to move your programs to D: unless you uninstall them from C: and re-install them on D:.\n\nOne thing you can do... if you have a lot of files in your My Documents folder is re-locate it to the D: drive.  To do this, just right-click on the "My Documents" folder on your desktop and hit "Properties" There will be a button that says "Move". Click on it and move it to say "D:&#92; My Documents".  It will even move all the files over for you. This should free up quite a bit of space.\n\nIf your C: drive is full, you can always delete some of the Windows Garbage files... here's a list of stuff you can safely delete...\n\nIn C:&#92; Windows... Any folder at the top that starts with "$" before it. Those are left-over Windows Update folders and can be safely deleted.\n\nAnything in C:&#92; Documents and Settings&#92; {username}&#92; Local Settings&#92; History&#92;\n\nAnything in C:&#92; Documents and Settings&#92; {username}&#92; Local Settings&#92; Temp&#92;\n\nAnything in C:&#92; Documents and Settings&#92; {username}&#92; Local Settings&#92; Temporary Internet Files&#92; \n\nYou can also move your windows page file over to D:. This is actually recommended by Microsoft for systems with more than one hard drive.\n\nTo do this Hit your Start button, Settings, Control Panel, System. Hit the Advanced Tab, then the Settings button under "Performance", then the Advanced Tab again, then the Change button.\n\nSelect drive C: in the list at the top, select the "No Paging File" radio button and hit the "Set" button.\n\nThen select drive D: in the list, select the "System managed Size" radio button, and hit "Set" again. Hit OK three times and re-boot the PC.\n\nWhen it comes back to your desktop, use Windows Explorer to browse to drive C: and delete the page file if its there. (It'll let you delete it now. You may have to turn on "Show protected operating system files" in Folder Options/View to see it.)\n\nThat should at least get you started...

You can't increase the capacity of whole disk but if you want to add some space to C: drive you may purchase Acronis Disk Director. This software will merge your partitions without data loss.\nIn case you have only C: drive and some unallocated space you can recover this space using an utility of disk Director and then add it directly to C: partition.  Here is a link for you:\nhttp://www.acronis.com/homecomputing/products/diskdirector/
