I have an HP desk-top with two hard drives. I keep getting messages that say low drive space...?

Question

My H:/ Drive is so full that I can't even defragment it anymore.
Now it's telling me that windows can't run properly that I need a certain % of disk space. If I have like 80% free on drive C then why dosen't it automatically start saving stuff to that drive? Is there a way to change the settings so it does? How do I purchase and install more memory for my computer? And does this mean I have to install another drive? So many questions I know, but any answers will be greatly appreciated.
Thank You

Answer 1

Please add comments listing all drive letters (is there only C & H ?) as well as the amount of used space & free space on each.

The first response is a good one ... simply "cut & paste" some of your large data files (not program files) from the full drive to the C drive.
Create a new directory on the C drive & move them all to that directory.
Please add the info I'm asking for in yourquestion or e-mail me if you wish& I will do my best to offer a more precise solution.

Try to drag and drop files from H drive to C drive in a point to make them equal in percentage. then, check out how it works.

The drive which has the OS of your PC must be emptier for the system and softs installed run a little better.

there is a simple solution for this prob, you shud leave 10% disk space on each drive for the recycle bin. if u dont u'll get this warning. so move sume stuff from H to other drives, and its not really recommend to fill up a drive. coz the drive will be performing very very slow. so try to move your files to other drives too... do not completely fill up a drive.
