I purchased a used Dell computer--they had taken off all of the programs, and
it was up to me to install the O/S and any of my own programs.
I installed Windows 98 which I already owned, and then I decided to upgrade
to Windows 2000, so I bought that program and upgraded the O/S.....
Now I'm trying to install Microsoft Office, and it's telling me I don't have
enough hard drive space. The computer should have at leas 9G hard drive but
going into My Computer, shows only about 1.5G.
I am not very experienced with computers, and through trying to solve the
problem, I came across a device manager that showed the hard drive to have
the 1.5G available and approx. 9G not in use.
Now I can't find that device manager thing again, and I don't know how to
merge the 2 so that my full 9G is available to me.
Any thoughts...or ideas...or help would be greatly appreciated...and
remember, I'm new at this, so hopefully the answer won't be too technical.
