A friend of mine has a laptop that has a C drive that is 35 gigs, and a D drive that is 2 gigs. Don't ask me why. Anyway, he had to reinstall XP because his comp was having major issues. Well, when he reinstalled it, XP put all the system files on the D drive, aka the 2 gig drive. His problem now is that he's getting warnings of low disk space since all the important stuff is on the 2 gig drive, rather than the 35 gig drive.

Now for my question: How can I get XP to be ran off of the 35 gig drive, rather than the tiny 2 gig drive?

 

I think you'd just have to re-install it on the correct partition.

 

that easy huh? he made it seem like he didn't have an option, but if I guess he does, it should be easy to fix.

 

i dont think he can just "reinstall" without formatting that partition. in which case, he has to move the files in C:

i think :thinking:

 

why not just remove that partition altogether? what purpose does a 2G partition serve these days?

 

^^ :werd:

the SUGGESTED minimum harddrive space required is 1.5 gigs.

your friend should....backup important files onto another computer. delete D: and create a bigger partition, reinstall XP.

 

redirect it from the bios to read from the c: hard drive as your first drive source.yay then load xp

 

there are no system files on C: to read...:thinking:

if he has nothing to do lose (data wise) then just reinstall it. During the XP installation process you can repartition drives do there is no problem with that.
