| 1468128 | 2020-04-09 03:43:00 | The problem is that the 'Healthy(Recovery Drive)' is between C Drive and F Drive. Note - they are not separate drives, but partitions of the one drive. I have already reduced the size of F Drive in anticipation of enlarging C Drive (I have done this sort of manoeuvre successfully in the past...). And because of the location of the 'Healthy(Recovery Drive)' I can't enlarge C Drive. I haven't tried anything today yet - I am biding my time :) I checked Ascent for HDD prices, but the information there was that I clearly can't justify buying a new HDD at present. However, I found another spare HDD that I had, and after reformatting it (it had been used with the Freeview drive for my TV) it is now functional on my computer. |

| 1468130 | 2020-04-09 04:11:00 | Hi R.M. Re: the following comment, "I checked Ascent for HDD prices, but the information there was that I clearly can't justify buying a new HDD at present. However, I found another spare HDD that I had, and after reformatting it (it had been used with the Freeview drive for my TV) it is now functional on my computer". is this HDD External or Internal? I recently purchased a 2TB WD External from Noel Leaming for $99. I don't know if the special is still running. However, can you transfer photo and the like files from C: to the new HDD to make space on C:? |

| 1468131 | 2020-04-09 04:21:00 | Since you are running out of room on C drive just drag and drop all the folders that you wish to F drive then check everything is as you wish, after you are happy delete the transferred folders from C drive. You seem to be saying that you have reduced F drive, you should re-enlarge it again if so. Don't delete the recovery partition it has important folders and files on it, in case your o/s crashes. |

| 1468132 | 2020-04-09 04:27:00 | Ok - some things to think about there. I try to keep my C Drive pretty clean (well, I thought I had) but when I look there are some files I could take off. | R.M. (561) | ||

Did you run the disk clean-up ( system Files options) like Suggested ?? Its not uncommon if you haven't run it to get 2-5 GB back. | wainuitech (129) | ||
| 1468134 | 2020-04-09 06:12:00 | Did you run the disk clean-up I did, and only got 110kb. So something, but not much. |

| 1468135 | 2020-04-09 07:06:00 | When you run Disk Cleanup is Windows Updates ticked? you could have a few gig's there | Lawrence (2987) | ||
