new Dell Inspiron

    Hi all,
    I am looking for some advice. I got a new dell Inspiron laptop back in march and I have 2 issues. OS is Windows 7 and is a 64bit machine running AVG antivirus free.

    1. From factory the laptops hard drive is partitioned. The C drive has 60GB and the D drive has 400GB assigned. All the short cuts to my documents are set up on the C drive yet it is the one with the least capacity. There does not seem to be anything at all on the D drive. I have the C drive almost full now. How can I assign more hard drive to the C drive? I do not want to remap all my documents to the d drive, and why would dell do this?


    2. I cannot log onto some websites. Sites like MySpace just do not load up. If I click on the link to MySpace it just hangs like it is loading up but nothing. This is also happening with Windows Live Messenger. The sign in page auto starts when I log on but when I try to sign in it returns an error code 80072ee2. Could this have something to do with AVG I am using?

    any ideas?

    Download PartedMagic, write to a CD and boot from it. You will then be able to resize partitions gratis and with relative impunity.

    Sites hanging sounds like a firewall issue, possibly it isn't clamping the MSS value. Perhaps start with what make/model router you have?
