![]() And the C: drive stays very quick as well. This way, i never lose ANYTHING during a Clean install, And windows stays fast for a MUCH MUCH longer time. If it doesn't give you the option, then most likely it *NEEDS* to be on the C: Drive. If it gives you the option, then its not *NEEDED* on the C: Drive. Can't think of what.but my line of thinking is this. Only system critical stuff goes onto the C: Drive. If it gives me an option as to where to install it.D: Drive it goes. EVERYTHING gets installed on the D: Drive. I created a /program files folder within my D: drive. Personally, i NEVER install anything onto my C drive if it doesn't have to go there. And then you want to kick yourself later, realizing that you just deleted those files during the format. The great thing about moving stuff NOW, is that when you need to re-do windows.generally you are in a hurry, and tend to miss some files. As it won't have to scan through gig after gig of non-windows based files.Īlso, if for some reason your C: Drive dies on you, or you get a crap load of Spyware, or a virus and need to do a clean install, all your files will be on the D: Drive, and thus you won't have to worry about backing up. Then do a Defrag on both the C: and D: Drives.īy freeing up space on the C: Drive, it will allow the HDD's to find the windows data faster, and easier. Then uninstall any old games/programs you arn't using anymore. slap them all into one folder, with an appropriate name, and then move that folder somewhere on the D: Drive. Delete stuff that you arn't using anymore.Ģnd, Organize. It will allow you to do this with Winrar files, But if you try to copy/paste any other file larger than 17 megs, or try to extract something, and if the target location is somewhere in the C: Drive, then you will run into the exact same problem.ġst, I'd clean out the C: Drive. That can, and will work.for a short time. For some reason, even though I'm not using it, Windows won't let me delete the Vista crap. I am using XP 32bit while there's a fully loaded Vista folder on C as well. Am I an idiot, or is windows just overly complicated sometimes?Ītm, there is no way for me to delete anything of a big enough size from C. This leads me to believe that for some reason the file is temporarily stored in the C drive. ![]() The only partition on my hard drive that doesn't have enough space is C. I'm dumbfounded at this point, because even though I'm transferring to a drive with ample free space, I get this is dumb error. Half way through the extraction process, Winrar gives me an error saying that there is not enough disk space to complete the operation. I want to take that file and transfer it to D:\ (200 gigs free). I have a flash drive that has a 1gb file stored on it. FIrst off, I'll list my partitions and the space each of them have. First off, I hope I'm not committing a sin, seeing as how this might be better discussed in the OS forum.
