Answer 1

I don't think you can easily combine 2 disks into one, there are ways but they get very involved. just move some files over there like maybe your downloads folder and store them there from now on.

Answer 2

this isn't a virus. There are two things going on. 1. you are almost out of hard drive space. You need to either get a bigger hard drive, or clean up the one you have by either moving stuff off of it to a cd or an external hard drive. If you have less than 25% of free space you are going to run into problems. 2.you need more ram. When windows runs out of physical ram, it starts using hard drive space for memory. That's why it increases in size. There is what is called a swap file your windows uses for ram. This file grows and shrinks as needed. Adding more ram will ease up on it's use of the hard drive. This is why you need at least 25% of your drive free. What's happening is the swap file is growing and needs more space than what's free on the hard drive, which results in out of memory messages and instability. For example, if you put 2 or more gigs in , odds are your windows will never touch the hard drive for memory, unless you are editing huge video files.

Answer 3

Depends on whether it is one drive in two partitions or two physical drives.

The easiest thing to do would be to choose to download to the other drive or transfer files from one to the other to free up space. Having two drives is handy if you need to reinstall windows, you can put anything important on one drive and reinstall windows on the other.

If it is one physical drive partition magic would combine the two pwrtitions but you may need to empty drive F.

Answer 4

You can solve this problem in two ways:
- To move some files from drive C: to F: (Right click on some files in C: especially the Music and media files) and choose cut, then go to drive F: right click and choose paste.
- When saving new files don’t save it on Desktop or my Documents, but change the save place into drive F:

Answer 5

You could always relocate files from F: to C: to make space on C:....or

http://gparted.sourceforge.net/livecd.php

download this utility. It is an ISO image which must be burned onto a CD-R or DVD to be bootable. Reboot from your disk drive into G-Parted. You can resize your partitians however you like. You should defragment both drives before making changes.

http://partitionlogic.org.uk/ is another free disk partitioner

Answer 6

Use Partition Magic. It's simple to use.
Good luck.

Answer 7

You could transfer ( cut and copy) some of the things you do not use a lot to "F" but if you have "C" & "F" where is "D" & "E"
Take a look in My Computer to see if your disc has multiple partitions

Answer 8

use disc cleanup, or delete some programs or porn or whatever- also youre ram size does not say anything about your hardrive space, thats someting else.

Answer 9

Go to windows explorer and just click and drag

Answer 10

my advice is to use partitions because your data will be protected in case the HDD is de-partitioned...
