Larry, with a 40 gb drive you should have more room to spare with only
6gb of programs unless you have a lot of video on the drive. Set your IE
cache to 81 mb or less, clean out your trash in your email and compact
the files, set the space reserved for your recycle bin to 3%. Use
Easycleaner as per Hugh's instructions as well
For hard drives recommendations there is only a few manufacturers now,
primarily Seagate (who just bought out Maxtor) and Western Digital. I
use Seagate because of their 5 year warranty, a 250gb drive runs for
under $90.00 CAD right now with larger drives experiencing falling
prices too.
All drives come with drive cloning tools that are quite straight forward.

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?
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.
