Can I exchange the C: drive?
I have PC with XP Professional Version 2002 Service Pack 3. I also have Quickbooks and Microsoft Office Professional running on it. This is my work computer, so I don't want to have problems with it.
I ran disk cleanup and Disk Defragmenter last night. I have two hard drives on this desktop, which is my work computer. Here is the result of fragmentation:
C: drive capacity - 37,26 GB, free space - 7,76 GB, percentage free space - 20%.
F: drive capacity - 112 GB, free space - 80,76 GB, percentage free space - 72%
NOTE: I did not define this PC upwards.
I moved everything I can think of the F: drive. All my documents, pictures, data, CAD files, stored on the F: drive. But all programs work on the C: drive. Is there an EASY way to share things while I'm cramped for space?

I understand your situation. All I wanted to do was encourage you to plan ahead. My motto that I used when posting to the newsgroups Microsoft, now unfortunately is no longer available, was "interrogation, plan, execute".
I just was "forced" to abandon a Windows XP box and to migrate to a new computer. I could have bought a 32-bit computer and install Windows XP. Instead of standing still, I decided to make a great leap forward. Now I have Windows 7 Ultimate (64 bit). This has created a lot of problems to solve. Much more than I enjoyed at the outset. However, it will be the right path for me, but I recognize that the establishment of such that the change is less easy for others.
One of my major problems was the use of hardware and software is more easily available and supported. In my case it was based on a 56 k Data / Fax modem. You can buy all of the printers and scanners incorporating a Fax, but I'm not a believer in "All in One" for a number of reasons. After reflection, I was moved some operations of the fax to send earlier. This experience illustrates how you can make 'free' changes and mitigate the inevitable problems when you do not upgrade.
I have two other suggestions of freeware for you to try. They just re-reading the second paragraph of your first post.
A better program of disk cleanup is cCleaner but note that cCleaner will not manage system restore points. It is still necessary to remove older restore points using disk cleanup facility. Perform these steps before the defrag for best results
http://www.CCleaner.com/download
A warning about cCleaner. Do not use the registry tool.
A better tool than Disk Defragmenter is Defraggler

Hope this helps, Gerry Cornell

Can I replace the optical drive with an SSD (for example, Seagate 600 240 G)? Thank you!
I saw there are several videos helping to remove the top cover and replace the optical drive. But it does not expressly say that the optical drive can be replaced by a hard drive.

Yes you can. Here's the part you have to do with. Just remove the optical drive, add a hard disk in one of these adapters and replace it for the optical drive:
https://www.jacobsparts.com/items/HDDBAY-02/
You may also need to swap the façade of the old optical disc to make the installation of good look.
I wouldn't use this for one SSD. An SSD belonged to the main disk space to enjoy the speed. The drive into the optical drive adapter will not be bootable and it will be not given quite as fast as the main hard drive transfer speeds. So if you have a drive in this card, a big (1 TB) and slow (5400 RPM) drive would be preferable. It will be purely for storage and it is still fast enough to see the video of for example but if you are doing video editing I would try not to edit videos from the optical drive Bay. Move them to the fastest reader first.

I just upgraded my Dell Dimension 5100 to Windows 7 from XP. I can't get any internet connection with cable or wireless. I think the problem is the PCI modem. Where can I download the compatible driver Intel(r) 537EP V9x DF PCI Modem work under Windows 7?
Original title: MODEM PCI FOR WINDOWS 7 DRIVER
Thank you for your comments. I use the dial upward. However, my PC does not connect to broadband, even with direct Ethernet cable connection or adapter wireless Netgear WPN111, I used happily with XP on the same computer. Device Manager displays the PCI as incompatible. FYI, I downloaded and installed the latest drivers for the wireless card.
Install the following:
Dell systems must run more stably once they installed. I would remove the modem PCI card.
Intel Pro/100 VE Ethernet should work natively with Windows 7 as Windows 7 has built-in driver:

My computer has virus of the FBI, I wiped it is clean but now it cannot connect to intermet because it can't find the network driver how can I find it?
Since you have formatted the PC and reinstalled Windows, your question will be handled better in the hardware forum space and drivers for Windows 7, so I'll move it there.
Apparently, you need to install the driver of your PC network. If you used the CD to restore the PC manufacturer that should have been included, but it may be on a 2nd CD with drivers and programs.
If not, the first thing to do is contact the PC manufacturer to see if they have a driver available for download. If the PC has a wireless network card and wired, perhaps one has been configured, but not the other and you try to use the not yet detected and installed.
