Vista - partitioning the hard drive

1984ReturnsForReal_2

Hi guys,


Can you tell me why the drive is split in 2?

& also my c drive has 5gb left from 23gb & the d drive has 38.9gb free from 39gb so how do I transfer program files from c to d to balance it out, if that makes any sense?

Often the drive is 'split' in two by the manufacturer; and often it's actually one physical drive with one/two/even three logical partitions. And again often it's to separate the operating system files from user files. It's not unusual practice and nothing to worry about. If you do indeed mean program files and documents, you should be able to simply drag and drop between the two partitions (C and D).

HTH.

Thanks.

I was wondering if I balls'd up.

Just done a complete uninstall on my wife vista laptop & the C drive is pretty much filling up with progs & updates..

OK, but then either begin to install new programs from here on in to the D drive and/or transfer over some files (photos, docs etc.) to the D drive. Really, so long as you have enough ample space, there is nothing to worry about.
