Laptop Hard Drives
Options

16-01-2012 6:06pm#1Hi. My girlfriends 320 GB Asus laptop has two hard drives (or is partitioned, I don't know how to recognise the difference) the first the C: drive and the second the "Data" or
drive.
The C: Drive is about 70GB and is nearly full. All the Programs files seem to get installed on here in the Prog files and Prog files (x86). The Drive is about 250GB and has alot more space free. The issue we are having is that she wants to install a big programme (a free GIS) but it won't install because of lack of space. She has removed everything she knows of her own from the C: to the drive (music, films, pictures etc) but the C: drive is still nearly full.
Can programmes be installed to the drive and is this wise? We're kinda wondering why the C: drive is so small in comparison to the drive and why the split isn't more equal.
Anyone any advice?
Thanks in advance...Tagged:0

Sounds like a partitioned hard drive alright!
If she has so much free space on the can the program not be installed on the D drive?
When she is installing the program, if she just points the directory where it goes to to whereever on the she wants it it should go in there no problem...
