Partitoned drive

Using Dell Inspiron media edition 16400 60GB HD 2GB ram. Issue, this drive is partitioned and running out of space on C:, there is about 12 GB on D:. Is there a way go move some apps, etc to D: and/or have a choice of writing to that drive? This is my wife's laptop. Does a lot of games, music.

 

Hi Sidbub,

There are two things which can be done
1.) There might be a lot of temp files stored in C drive which can be removed using Temp File Cleaner (Note: It will delete all restore points)
2.) If there is free space in drive D: then if you want then you can merge two partitions.

Partitioning Tools-->
There are many tools however I am just giving you two options
Free:
Partition Logic
Cute Partition Manager

Thanks Sid, I'll check into this.I like the idea of merging.

 

Have you any recovery files in partition D

 

No recovery files there. Question, can I actually merge D: into C: using Sid's suggested apps? There is some data on D:

 

Hello Sid

I have got one more option for you for partition/merge software and its free EASEUS

I am also sending you screenshots for how to do it.
I have mentioned steps in the screenshots.

Expecting that this would help you.

Thanks Sid, this looks like maybe it's the one. Thanks very much for your responses.

 

Have the disks from Dell/

 

Yes I have, not a bad idea. Never used it but think I will do a download on one of these from your link. Thanks.

 

I am downloading Macrium

 

Just thought to share the results with you since I performed these steps on my personal computer on which I am working right now.

I have not taken any image. The reason being I did not mess up with any file because I have just shifted the free space from one drive to another.

You can compare the disk sizes with the image mentioned in step1 in post #6
