a coworker brought in her laptop that was running painfully slowly. it's a compaq presario with an upgrade of windows me on it and a 4 GB harddrive. it has a 1+ GB C: drive and a 2+ GB D: SYSTEM_SAVE drive with everything mirrored as backup. both drives are about 3/4 full. i speeded things up a lot by removing much of the crap from start-up, but am still wondering if there's any reason we shouldn't delete that backup drive. can we just dump everything off it, or will it automatically back up anything put onto the C: drive? she doesn't remember intentionally putting anything onto the D: partition. the laptop is part of her home network and she has backed up important files on her other computer. thanks,
