allan673

hi, i have an acer laptop 60gb.
i have 2.5gb free on c drive, and 12gb free on d drive.

is there anyway i can move some things on the c drive to the d drive to free up some space please? or combine them both to 1 drive???

ive deleted loads of old photos, documents and programmes.
ive also got 3.5gb of music in itunes on c drive - can i somehow move that to d drive.

im doing this because basically ive just got roxio6 to copy cds and dvds and its saying it needs 4gb of free space, it automatically installed on c drive.

i need help lol, feel like throwing this laptop in the bin

Your C drive is nearly 95% full, so you're going to get problems anyway. It won't defrag when it's that full. You need to get down to about 85% maximum to let it run properly.
You can delete Roxio and reinstall it on the D drive, just manually change the location in the install setup-if you don't, it will put it in the Programs folder on your C drive by default.
Not a good idea to remove the D partition, because this most likely contains your recovery/restore system. But no reason why you can't move some documents etc to that partition if there is space.
I suggst you look at buying a USB external disk so you can move some more files off onto that and free up some more space.

So you have copied them to the D drive, but if you haven't removed the original on the C drive then of course it won't have freed up any space there.
