goatboykjd Posted June 22, 2009 Posted June 22, 2009 Hello, ths is my first post dudes and dudettes so please bare with me if i'm a bit slow. my problem is probably a basic one but most of my life problems are so any help would be awsome. i am running vista on an acer . i have had my laptop for around two-three yrs it still runs well alittle slower obviously. i mainly download music movies and apps. i use my laptop mainly for the internet, games and music. i store pretty much all my downloads on the second of my hard drives. however my primary hard drive has my music and some pictures on it. the primary drive is now only twogb off being full and is making my comp runn much slower and i cant seem to find where all this stuff clogging it up is! i dont think i have two mainy programs running i have already downloaded a program called Advanced System Care 3 i have done disk cleanup and tried deleting any programs i dont use. there aint any, i dont really use many. i have also found a folder called Windows this has a size on the disk as 14gb obviously this sounds like a important folder but this size seems exessive any help in reducing this would be really helpful as i cant afford an extenall drive. look forward to getting some feedback.

Guest Wolfeymole Posted June 22, 2009 Posted June 22, 2009 Lol It does mate, open Paint ok and hit Ctrl + V then save it as a .jpeg image and upload it back here using Manage Attachments. Quote
Jelly Bean Posted June 22, 2009 Posted June 22, 2009 As you have Vista do you not have the "Snippit Tool"? This can be used to take a picture of your screen. Quote Rwy'n ceisio fy ngorau......................

Guest Wolfeymole Posted June 23, 2009 Posted June 23, 2009 Don't be daft Goatboy, I wrongly assumed that you could. Ok right click on Computer and choose Manage. Left click the Storage section if it is not open and choose Disk Management. Quote
goatboykjd Posted June 23, 2009 Author Posted June 23, 2009 [ATTACH]298.vB5-legacyid=597[/ATTACH]nice one wolfeymole dude, heres what youve been waiting for Quote
Guest Wolfeymole Posted June 23, 2009 Posted June 23, 2009 Ok this is very simple as you just need to transfer all your stuff to the D: drive, this will then free up space on the main drive Goaty. I know that if you double click Computer and choose Properties for D: the entire disk will show Pink, ie Free disk space. Quote
Guest Wolfeymole Posted June 23, 2009 Posted June 23, 2009 Consider my setup. http://i306.photobucket.com/albums/nn266/FPCH/mydiskmanagement.png Quote
