No more space on hard drive C.....can I install upgrade or new version on D?

My hard drive C is full, and contains all the files for Norton Security and my turbo tax files......Can I install the newer version of these 2 softwares on the D drive without creating problems, and make a smooth transition?


Thanks

Use your disk manager to take your D: drive and use it as an extended partition so that you C: logical drive will span both physical drives. This should give you more space.
Reply:what i recommend is moving data, like music and videos and pictures to folders on your d drive to preserve space on your c drive for the system and it programs.


you really shouldnt let your drive get full...you will not be able to perform successful defrags of your c drive partition.
Reply:your best option, although not the cheapest, is to buy a nice large fast new drive, like $89 for a 320GB 7200RPM.





use partition magic to clone your old C: drive onto the new C: drive. it should work perectly! All files and programs should be there,

Reply:D IS RECOVERY. GET AN EXTERNAL OR DEFRAGMENT AND GET RID OF ALL THE **** YOU DON'T NEED OR USE. CLEAN YOUR CACHE FILES, REGISTRY FILES, COOKIES, INTERNET FILES AND PROGRAMS YOU DON'T USE .
Reply:hey ...c is the primary partition ...u need to atleast have some space to work in it .... free some space if possible .

Reply:Probably not. If your C: is full, you're going to have other problems as well, unless your D drive is being used for virtual memory.





If those software products are installed on C: then you'll need to update them there, unless you remove them first and then install them on D.
Reply:What size drive is it?? try doing a clean out with some optimizer software....and the best alternative, is to get another hard-drive...a 20 GIG you can get for around $10-$15 (AU)....best way to go....
