i just got my laptop fixed and my dad put in a new harddrive in 1 of the 2 harddrive slots. the people who fixed have now made it so that the main partition C only has 24gb and the "new volume" D has 270gb can i make D 24gb and C 270gb because all my programs want to install on C

I dont know about the partitions but if you wanted to solve it quickly you could just change the place they install.

Yeah, just keep "C" as the operating system, and install everything else to "D"

That's the easiest way to do it, atleast then you cant ever make the HDD with the OS on it run into problems with memory management etc

Right click on My Computer -> Manage

Then one option you will find is Disk Management. Play to your hearts content (but don't blame me if you break anything)

always

What Si said. That or reinstall and repartition.

While I personally like partitions, 24GB is not enough for an OS partition anyway.

Disk mangement <3 i was so happy when i found it
(because i did'nt know how to activate my new 1tb hdd)

Can u make a new partition without having free space for one ?

And the point of that would be? Even if you did make it you wouldnt be able to put anything in it.

what si and skillers said + advice (also - the "i like partitions" bit)

I have a habit of switching everything from 0 to 1 to see if my machine can take it, if something goes wrong when this happens I don't know which switch broke it, don't make silly mistakes like that ( in short, take it slow, check everything you change)

So you can rearange stuff.

That wouldn't work, seeing as the partition wouldn't have any space to put things in.

O ok danke

exactly... pwned

i reinstalled windows and it fixed the problem now
