Hello,
I know very little about computers and hard ware but I am aware that my hard drive is split in to two C:/ and D:/
I am using windows xp home edition
I have 60GB PATA HDD (what ever that is)
512MB DDR2 (Support dual-channel)- (Don't understand that either...lol)
I am just typing up what's on my Acer Aspire notebook.
What i am wanting to do is be able to utilise drive D:/ so I have more space for my programs.
I understand that I can simply just save things to my D:/ drive but I have programs installed on C:/ that require a lot of memory.
The programs i use are: Bryce 6 and Poser 6
These are installed on drive C:/ and i have about 1.66 GB free on that drive and 24GB on D:/
Can I merge the two together so C:/ which I use these programs on is big enough to run poser and bryce without freezing in the middle of it all?
Or should I get more memory installed.
I hope this is something you all can understand because I am really confusing myself here.
Thanks in advance

Hello
Well You can free up your hard drive by using a program called partition magic if you are truly running out of space this program will allow you to merge the C and D together as one C drive, but i wouldn't do it, because depending upon your system the D drive consist of recovery software for your acer which stores driver software but it also may store your backup copy of windows as well. If you have a recovery windows cd and the recovery isn't stored on your D drive then it's ok erase the content in the D drive and merge the two and allow more disc space. As for it freezing it depends. Adding more ram helps, but also keep in mind that if any of the programs that you are using requires a lot of graphics then your video card comes into play in dealing with that stuff. If you have a weak graphics card and you are trying to use a program that's graphic hungry then you maybe also looking at a grpahic card upgrade as well if this is a desktop pc, if it isn't your stuck with what you have in terms of graphics card because you can't change out the grpahics card in a laptop in generel. |
