Disk Space Problems

[smoggy101]

I have a Toshiba Equium laptop and it has a supposed 160 gb of space. However my first 80gb (C:drive) is now full and I keep getting messages telling me I need to free space. There is another drive (E:) which I can see has 80gb of free unused space. I just cannot work out how to use this as my default drive from now on or how I get things to automatically save to this drive instead. Sorry if the terms/language isn't the best but I don't really know what I'm doing, Just wondered if anybody can help? Thanks.

Why don't you just transfer some of the vfiles on your C drive to your E drive, thereby creating space on C?

vista or XP would have helped

but ether way assuming you use your "my documents" (or documents in vista) folder then the easy thing is to simply move that to the drive with space.

Thanks, I thought this may be an option but was worried that when certain software or files try to be opened I would get that 'file location could not be found' error. Do you think if I did move things over this would happen? Thanks again.

Sorry, it's Vista.

It is best to leave programs on C. You can transfer your files - music, pictures, documents etc to another drive without problems.
