I use Vista 64bit, by default my computer came with two physical hard drives,
one named D:\ (Os) and D:\ (Data) I own a 750GB external drive, where I located all my docs, pictures, music... So the "D" Drive stills empty. Meanwhile the "C" Drive is short of space, because all programs installed. It is a good idea create another Program Files in the "D" drive to free space for Vista and reinstall programs in that location??? |

Program Files folder (and any programs that belong in Program Files folder
should be in the same partition that Vista OS is in. There is no advantage to dividing programs that belong into Program Files folder between two seperate partions. Disk space is relatively cheap and Vista and its folder should be given plenty of storage space. -- oscar ....Right click is your very good friend...

That facility isn't the best, but it works as long as the empty space is created to the "right" of the partition you want to expand. BootitNG used to have a fully-functional trial version of their partition manager: http://www.terabyteunlimited.com/boo...generation.htm |
