Subject: PCWorks: HD getting full what steps should I take
This is my shop computer and is self built ie with parts off the shelf. It
is AMD Athlon XP2200+ @ 1.8GHz and 512 of ram. Using XP pro Ver 2002 with
SP2.
My C drive is a 40 gig drive with only 1 gig free! Much of the size is in
the Programs on the drive. (about 6 gig)
Should I buy a larger drive? If so, any recommendations?
Just buy a 2nd HD and use both in your system... Do you know how to install
a HD? If not you can go someplace like BestBuy and have them do it... I
have a 300gb in my computer now with a 120gb... If you can uninstall
programs from C: drive then reinstall programs into your new HD then that
would solve your problems... Some programs you can just move over, others
you must uninstall then reinstall...
As to recommendations, I've used several manufacturers and only ever had a
HD die on me once in over 15 years of owning a computer so to me they are
all pretty safe...

If so how do I transfer date from the C to any other drive?
Most of the Programs are still in use so deleting them is not an option I
want to do.
If I were to reinstall some of these programs on another drive would that
work ok or does that cause problems?
I have been using a smaller drive (6 gig) for data backup and I could
install something bigger but still not sure the best way to relieve the
fullness.
Thanks
