When I go to reinstall Windows, it's creating a new partition under a "D" drive with my 110gb and I have a "C" drive that only has like 4gb. Can I put the 110gb on my "C" drive without deleting what's on it, because I can't save some things to my "D" drive. I'm afraid it's going to screw with critical stuff that could affect me running Windows at all.

Wait, what? You're asking if you can put 110 gigs of material on your C drive that only has 4 GB of space left?

From the sounds of it you need some backup/imaging software, a place to store it, and perhaps some repartitioning tools.
No way i'm walkin through this over the internet. Good luck ! heh -------------------- QUOTE (Lance) now we have some dude from argentina wondering how to fuck dogmeat |

yeah, the way he said it is confusing but I think he partitioned his only drive and is just confused.

I'm afraid it's going to screw with critical stuff that could affect me running Windows at all. i tried...but shit still doesn't make sense can you put 110gb of data in 4gb of space - no why can't you save on your D drive? -------------------- |

pretty sure i understand.
he's not talking about MOVINVG 110gb to a different drive with only 4gb available.. he just wants the 110gb partion to be called C, and the other one to be called D (if he wants the 2nd partition at all). you most likely have only one physical hard drive, and it's partitioned because you did it, or the more likely... you have a dell/hp/compaq whatever and it was like that when you got it. it was like the when you got it because it just has backup stuff on there. you dont really need it and yeah you could just delete both partitions and create a new partition thats just one (114gb). but maybe you want it? --------------------  |

but in deleting the 2 partitions and creating one partition, he would lose everything. he wants to know how to not lose that. Jason, if you only want to back up the shit on the 4 gig partition, thats not going to take but 10 minutes... back it up on cd then re-partition your drive

if he uses the install disks that came with the computer, wouldnt that just repartition the drive into 2 partitions again? I ask because I dont know.

No. You can always choose to either partition your drive or not, at least in my experience that's been the case.

I think it depends on the install disks that come with the computer. Im sure there is a way to chose advanced options during the install and change it but it might default to that. |
