Do it yourself.\nAdd more memory, Clean up your hard drive.\nStop unwanted programs.\nstart/run/msconfig/startup unclick crud programs.\nYou could replace the hard-drive with something bigger and faster, but then you have to reload all the software.\nMIKE

Left click "My Computer" to open a browser window to view all of your available drives.  Of course your hard drive is usually labelled as "C", but it may have two partitions.  The second partition is usually labelled "D".  "C" and "D" will be on the same drive but appear to be seperate.  I will get to why I mention this later.\n\nOnce in "My Computer" you can put your pointer over the drive that you want information on.  Without doing anything else, it should give you some basic information on the drive/partition; free space and total size.  If you want more details just right click and select "Properties".  This will give you a graphic representation of your available and total space on your drive. \n\nYou have a few options if you don't have any free space.  You can do a "Disk Cleanup".  Do this by clicking "Disk Cleanup" in the window you opened in the previous step or go to Start, Programs, Accessories, System Tools, Disk Cleanup.  This will find all temporary files, files in your recycle bin and various other files that you may not need anymore.  When it has run, it will give you a list of all of these files and how much space that they will free up if deleted.  Select the ones that you wish to delete and Finish.  Note that you should do this periodically as part of your regular PC maintanance.\n\nAnother option is to go through your computer and manually delete files and programs you don't need anymore.  You may delete something that you need if you are not careful though.  Deleting files is easy.  Right click and Delete or drag them to the Recycle bin.  To remove programs go to Start, Settings, Control Panel, Add or Remove Programs.  Once the program list pops up select to Remove the programs you want ot get rid of and follow the prompts.\n\nIf you have a lot of files that are taking up space, but don't want to get rid of them, move them to another storage media.  Put them on an external drive, or save them to disk.  You can even save them to the D drive if you have space there.  I like to save everything from my projects and working folders onto my D drive.  That way I know where my files are and they don't take up program space on my C drive

you have to have software that will remove the partition without losing your data, like partition magic, and yes, if done right by these programs, it will move the free space to c if you tell it to

By deleting files you don't need anymore, or moving files to another drive.  Without knowing what's on your D: drive, I can't really be more specific than that.

Assuming your running Windows XP...\n\nYou should do the following:\n\n1. Click START > Run > type msconfig [return] and look in Services and Start Up tabs for software that you don't need to be run when the Windows is started.\n\n2. Click START > Control Panel > System, Advanced > Performance > Settings > Advanced > Virtual Memory > Change. Your system should be set to System Managed. If it is then you may want to increase the value, or at least play with it and see what helps improve overall speed.\n\n3. You might also look for installed software that you don't use or don't need. Increasing the free space of your hard drive is always a good thing.\n\n4. Download adaware or a similar spyware removal tool, and run it to eliminate any spyware.\n\n5. If you have a virus scanner then I recommend running through your entire drive.\n\n6. Finally, click START > All Programs > Accessories > System Tools > Disk Defragmenter, and defrag your hard drive.\n\n7. Reboot.

No, it's not possible to transfer the space.  You could, however, format the C drive and then copy all the files from the E drive to it and then use it again.

There are different ways you could do that.  I would recommend going to Start, Programs, Accessories, System Tools, Disk Cleanup.  It will take a second, then let you know what stuff you can get rid of.  Make sure Temporary Internet Files and Temporary Files are selected.  Then ok.  It will delete those files and also free up disk space.

Never. Try AntiVirus. Or if you certainly want to remove it fine. Never format hard drive without having full knowledge on this. No then call an assistant from the company of your computer model. Yes if u are sure then restart your computer and keep pressing F8. And choose Run in Command Prompt (or Prompt or other). Then open the C dive by typing C: then type format /s (remember to put /s otherwise your hard disk is then a total waste). I would strongly recommend a technician. G LUCK

Install a partition manager and resize E and C... It's safer!

In general, if you insert the Windows XP disk and REBOOT.... step through the installation process.   At the point of INSTALLING, you can see that you can DELETE or ADD new partitions.   Of course, if this is your existing C drive and all of the space is allocated in existing partitions, you can't do anything.    But I use this method to create a new partition on a new drive all the time. \n\nThere are products that you can buy, such as Partition Magic, that will allow you to resize and make new partitions.

Yes. From a DOS prompt, "format c:" will format the c drive... "format d:" will format just d. If you want C: to be bootable when you are done, make sure you use a "/s" switch at the end.

You can't directly - from Windows ME support was more or less removed for drivespace compression, and with XP and other NTFS operating systems, Drivespace is not compatible.\n\nThe only way I know to get round your problem is to uncompress on a compatible computer, and copy the data onto uncompressed discs.

Reformatting the drive will get rid of all the garbage in your system.  You have the remnants of files that have been deleted, a pile of junk in your Windows temp file plus a load of other junk floting around.\n\nRather than formatting your drive, download Window Washer from Limewire,com - this will clean all the sheit off the drive and make the maximum amount space available to you.
