Solve : Split Hard Drive ...? |
|
Answer» I have a Sony VAIO laptop that has a C drive and a D drive (totalling 60 GB). The C drive is very CLOSE to full and I keep getting warnings about low memory. The D drive is almost empty however I am not sure how to access it (outside of going to 'save as' for every small thing). When saving photos etc., will I have to automatically put everything in the D drive or is there a way that everything can automatically go there? Will the D drive automatically have the software from the C drive or will I have to load everything again? A very basic question I know, but your assistance would be greatly appreciated. Thank-you.

The D drive is almost empty however I am not sure how to access it (outside of going to 'save as' for every small thing). 1. Are you getting warnings that you are low on disk space, or that you are low on virtual memory? There is quite a difference between these two warning messages. 2. It depends on the software you use, most software can be configured to ask you where to store the files or they can be given a default path. I suggest that you do not make use of the latter and this may cause files to be overwrited without your consent 3. No, the D: drive (It is most likely a partition if you are using a Laptop, not a seperate Hard Disk Drive) will be completey empty if there are no programs installed. However, with any program that allows you to save or open files, you can access files that are located on D: and C: with very little effort.

Double click on My Computer (Icon on the desktop) this should SHOW all drives, CD-ROM and floppy bays CURRENTLY present in your Laptop.winxp i take it>>>have a look here>http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;308424&sd=tech Thanks for the link. I'm a little confused in terms of what the difference is between a simple and spanned volume. Any recommendations (I'm on Windows XP Home Edition)? Thanks. A spanned volume .....is another word for EXTENDED the partiton of the drive....little used......and so is a mirror drive? |
