Okay, my problem is the opposite of the d drive to c drive guy

Hi everyone! I am hopeful that this board can help me with my simple problem.

I have plenty of storage space on my new computer (Vista) in c drive, but my d drive (system backups) which is a ntfs partition(?) is almost full. How do I allocate space from the c to d drive or expand my drivers all together without buying a stupid memory stick or installing another driver?

On that note, I was not as familiar with backing up my systems when I first bought this computer, but I am a fast study, and I want to clean up some of the useless backups I saved there? I cleaned up all but the most recent backups already. Is there some way to clean it up without causing my computer to flip out? It won't allow me to do a disk cleanup because it says there is 0 MB of items that can be cleaned. Obviously, that is not the case. I must have saved over several times backups when I had computer problems in the past before I figured out it was malware causing the problems and got better malware protection.


My old computer is an XP 2001 and this is a problem for that one as well.

Thanks!

Disk Cleanup will only get rid of things you have already deleted. Even though you may have old backup files you don't want to keep, you must delete them for Disk Cleanup to know about it. Then I suggest you also Empty the Recycle Bin, and that will simplify the task for disk Cleanup.

Within Disk Cleanup, check all the groups of things it can do for you , like deleting browser cache files and deleting temp files from old installation work. Let it clean out anything you are SURE you don't need.
