Hey guy (laides)

I have an issue with my pc, the drive is partitioned into 2,
c: drive,
d: my recovery drive,

my D drive is already full, i want to know how i can fix this issue.....i have a 500 g external harddrive with me, i do know there is a solution to this where i can use my external harddrive......please help.

thanks guys! If d: is a recovery drive how is it accumulating files? What do you put there?
And assuming it's just data, move what you want to the external drive. Am I missing something here?Is this a desktop or laptop?

What is the total capacity of each logical drive, "C:" and "D:"?

If "D:" is a recovery partition of 6 GigaBytes or so, then you shouldn't be dumping anything to it. If you're running "Backup" SOFTWARE, verify the logical drive it's dumping the backups to.It is a PC.

C is my primary and D is my secondary.....Quote from: LeoITT on September 25, 2009, 09:55:16 AM

It is a PC.

C is my primary and D is my secondary.....

So it's a "desktop" ?

How large are the "C:" and "D:" logical drives (what is total capacity of each) ? my pc C: drive is 156 gb free of 225 gb's and my Recovery D: drive is 595 mb of 7.67 GB

I have an external HDD with 500 gb of free space and i dont know how transfer the files on my D drive to my external (well call it drive E:) or if there is a better solution, im trying to install a program and since the memory is full i cannot even boot it to save on my external drive (drive E:)Don't mess with the D: drive!

LeoITT:

You can't even boot what? The "C:" or the "D:" drive?

If you feel logical drive "D:" is filling up, you need to identify what's stored there, and who's filling it up.

yes im referring to the Logical drive D: is for recovery it only has 7 gs of memory in that drive, my PC drive (c: ) is fine, but when i want to install a program the COMPUTER prompts *not enough storage is available to process this command.*

im assuming since my recovery drive is full this set up error displays.

i have backed up my files on my external hdd.

should i go to computer management and format the drive?

please help im a beginner and do not want to mess my pc up, its the only one i have...Quote from: LeoITT on September 27, 2009, 10:09:09 AM
