    Hi,
    I have a Toshiba laptop, with 80GB hard disk memory. Operating system is Vista Home Premium.
    The 80GB is split between 2 x 40GB drives.
    I have run out of room on the 1st drive- and now it is stopping me doing stuff. I tried to open some photographs last night and it said I couldn't as I didn't have enough memory. But I have only used 40GB!!!

    How do I get the laptop to start using my 2nd drive- which has 40GB of free room- rather than it trying to use the 1st drive, which is full?

    Thanks

    This may be too sinplistic bit wll it allow you to transfer some stuff to the other partion (E: drive)

    I have this partition and have to keep moving stuff to my E: drive. Its not a big headache but some games automatically install on the C: drive.

    I there any way to 'unpartition' your hard drive to allow you to only have a C: drive? Oh without wiping the hard drive too
