changing memory

[andybolton17]

Hi, i have a small C drive and its full but my D drive is empty and i never use it. Can i take some memory from the D drive and make it C drive memory. Thanks.

yes you can as far as i know i dont think you can do it just like this on windows you will probably have to go through the process of formatting your hard drive and then either keeping it as one drive or split-partitioning it so that the c drive has more space. But this will cause your hard drive to be wiped, so make sure you back up ur dtaa and programs. You could always paste some documetns into the d drive, but only fileslike music, picuters etc not windows or program files.

i run 2 hard drives -

my 1st is 80 gig and my 2nd 20 gig.

depending on what is taking the room up on drive c,it can simply be moved to 2nd drive.

eg if you have loads of mp3's,put them in one folder and then cut and paste the folder to your 2nd drive ie right-click start, explore,scroll down until you see 'local disk d',click on drive d and then paste the folder(s) there.

 

one other thing,your d drive is a hard drive isnt it ? most 'd' drives are cd/dvd drives !!!!!

mattk...Of course it's a second hard drive....Don't know what you have done but you cannot have 2 drives the same letter?

Au contraire, you could have software RAID 0 which would treat partitions on various hard drives as one volume (ie have 1 drive letter). And while I am being pedantic, you are not doing anything with memory (which is RAM) you are talking about hard disk space. As Mattik says, simply move data (not applications) from the C drive to the D drive.

If it is a single hard drive, you could use Partition Magic to resize drive C though I'm not 100% confident that it won't destroy the data on there (or at least some of it) so backing up first would be wise.

 

Talking of pedanticness... any RAID level can use multiple disks and represent them as one volume not just RAID 0.
