Solve : "C" & "D" Drives?

1.	Solve : "C" & "D" Drives?
Answer» I have a Sony PCV-RX560 computer. It has a partioned drive "C &"D". The "C" drive has 15GB and the "D" drive has 75gb. The "C" drive is almost full and the "D" drive still has 99% free space on it. Is there a way to make the "D" drive the main drive? I would like to use the "D" drive to go on the internet and download music and videos on it. Right now I can't do that. If not, can I add the free space on "D" drive to the space on the "C" drive? If you have vista you can use the built in PARTITION managerI don't have vista. I am using windows xp.Copy as much as you can (documents, movies, videos, music) over to D drive. Try to move as much as you can to D drive. I think the drive was partitioned that way so that C drive would be specifically for program files and the Windows installation and D drive would be for all your other data. Note: Do not move anything from C:\Program Files or C:\Documents and Settings\ (except ITEMS on Desktop) If you really WANT to merge the two PARTITIONS, let us know. Quote from: computeruler on February 27, 2009, 04:44:41 PM If you have vista you can use the built in partition manager Partitioning in Vista is identical to XP (done through Computer Management). So, it doesn't necessarily have to be Vista. I'm with Carbon on this one. Put all your data on drive D: (like downloads and such). Should you ever need to format and reinstall Windows on your C drive, the information on the D drive should remain intact. It saves a lot of time and headaches.
