How do I use the "D" hard drive? My "C" drive is full,
and my "D" drive is empty.

>1) Put your drive into a hardware kit and connect it to
your pc via the usb port or
<2) Set the jumpers on the harddrive (as slave). Connect
the harddrive(d to the same IDE-kable as the C:-drive.

Hi,

If D drive is the slave Hdd or a partition from the master drive, move all
the data files from the C drive to the D drive; for example, move the files
from My Document folder.

Only move data files - like the ones Peter suggested. Don't move executable
files without uninstalling and reinstalling to D:\.

If you have games loaded - uninstall them as per each games instructions and
reload them but during install choose D:\Program Files\.... as the install
location (or whatever foldername you wish).

If you have MS office programs like Word, Excel etc. you can setup the data
files (ie documents) in drive D: and leave the program files on C:. Open
Word, select Tools, Option, File Location Tab and reset the directory to
D:\....... Some other programs have the same options.

GENERAL UPKEEP AND CLEANUP
--------------------------

You should periodically defragment your hard drives as well as check them
for errors.

You should also empty your Internet Explorer Temporary Internet
Files and make sure the maximum size for this is small enough not to cause
trouble in the future. Empty your Temporary Internet Files and shrink the
size it stores to a size between 120MB and 480MB..

- Open ONE copy of Internet Explorer.
- Select TOOLS -> Internet Options.
- Under the General tab in the "Temporary Internet Files" section, do the
following:
- Click on "Delete Cookies" (click OK)
- Click on "Settings" and change the "Amount of disk space to use:" to
something between 120MB and 480MB. (Betting it is MUCH larger right
now.)
- Click OK.
- Click on "Delete Files" and select to "Delete all offline contents"
(the checkbox) and click OK. (If you had a LOT, this could take 2-10
minutes or more.)
- Once it is done, click OK, close Internet Explorer, re-open Internet
Explorer.

Uninstall any software you no longer use or cannot remember installing
(ask if it is a multi-user PC) - but only if you are sure you do not
need it and/or you have the installation media around to reinstall if
you need to. http://snipurl.com/8v6b may help you accomplish this.
