LOCAL USE OF HARD DRIVE D: AS AN EXTENSION OF THE LOCAL C: DRIVE

The office is a Dell Optiplex GX260 with Windows XP Professional Version 2002, Service Pack 3. The local disk C: drive only has 1 GB of available space remaining and the local disk D: drive is not formatted and has never been used. Two local disk drives show in my computer. The local disk C: drive has a NIFS file system while the unformatted local disk D: drive has a RAW file system.

I would like to know if it is possible to format the D: drive and use it as an extension of the local disk C: drive, that is to say with the same function as an external hard drive. I assumed that it has the same capacity as the local disk C: drive, which is 20 GB. The object is to copy and delete a sufficient number of emissions from local drive C: to D: local hard drive so that I'll have 8 to 10 GB of space available in local disk C:

Details of any change in firmware and driver coding, etc. it will take, if any, would be appreciated.

It is possible to just open the program files in local disk drive C: and copy paste every program chosen for local disk D: in my computer drive, folder then delete the copy Aquamatic program files in the local disk C: drive which is free disk space in the local disk drive C and would not affect those programs in the control panel?  If it's more complicated than that, comments would be appreciated.

This is based on the assumption that the computer will recognize programs in local disk drive d and use them as necessary, as if they were in the local disk C: drive

Thank you

Hi Notfinished,

What you try to do, is use your second hard drive for some of your files and possibly applications. I suggest that you format the drive D: to NTFS. Easy to move to the D: drive would be My Documents, as described HERE. The same would apply to my music, my pictures, etc. Applications can be moved easily. You will need to reinstall the application and during the installation process, select the D: drive as destination. For many applications, this involves the use of the option "Custom Installation".

Let me know if you have any other questions.

    Now that you are on the factory settings, I advise Dell DataSafe Local Backup uninstall and upgrade to the latest version of Dell backup and restoration which has many bugs/improvements, including the ability to restore to another hard drive which is useful in case the hard disk fails in the future or you decide to upgrade later to an SSD. The XPS 8300 running perfectly with a SSD, I have mine put in place with one. Then you can create a Rescue Disk (external hard drive Bootable) or Backup factory (Bootable USB Flash Drive) that will be promoted the recovery compared to the facts media with Dell DataSafe Local Backup.

  • Satellite P300-135 system issues using two HARD drives

    About a month ago I bought a faster hard drive for my laptop (because it wasn't hard drive 5400 RPM by default), and computer technicians to the store where I bought my laptop has recommended a Seagate Momentus 7200.4 250410.

    The first couple of days everything went smooth, but after that, every second, restart my OS (Windows 7 Ultimate 32 bit) reports of problems with my video card, sometimes 'Windows cannot initialize the device of this hardware driver. (Code 37) ", the other time"Windows has stopped this device because it has reported problems. " (Code 43) ", and when this error occurs, the keyboard and the keyboard do not work too.
    I made a simple and primitive diagnosis by deleting the second hard drive and rebooted 5 or 6 times, and everything went very well.

    So I think the problem is that the laptop has not enough power for two hard disks. Is it true, or is my phone begins to fail?

    Sorry for my mistakes of language, but English is my second language.

    Hello

    Usually the second HDD should not affect the performance of the system, but it of impossible
    So maybe you should test the specifications and performance of OS using another HARD drive maybe a HARD disk that takes in charge of 5400 RPM

  • Can satellite M70 - I use all hard drives 2.5 "?

    All HDD 2.5 "can be put in Satellite M70 or they must have specific dimensions? For example, I thin on Samsung spinpoint [model: http://www.pricerunner.com/pl/36-765680/Hard-Drives/Samsung-SpinPoint-T166-320GB-SATAII-7200rpm-Compare-Prices].

    It will be OK for my laptop?

    Hello!

    As far as I know the Satellite M70 was available with hard drives SATA and IDE hard drives. If you have a SATA HDD, you can use this HARD drive.

    The Satellite M70 takes to load only SATA150 (SATA1) but this isn't a problem. All SATA2 HDDs runs SATA1 mode and are 100% compatible.

  • Using another hard drive to brand in lenovo

    I own a Lenovo Thinkpad R61(8920-B6U) and think to increase storage capacity. It came with 160GB and I'll bring to 250 or 320 GB. In this regard, I have two questions:

    (1) my laptop will support a 320 GB hard drive?

    (2) can I use a hard drive other than lenovo in my notebook?  For example, I was thinking about buying a mobile hard disk WD Scorpio Black.

    Pending a positive and quick feedback!

    Welcome to the forum!

    The answers to your questions are Yes and Yes.

    FYI, Lenovo doesn't make its own hard disks but installs those manufactured by Hitachi, Fujitsu, etc. from Seagate.

    I hope this helps.

    Hello

    I try one of this popular box that allows me to put a second hard drive in the Bay optical slot, I use a Sata to Sata adapter, so there is not really an adapter and more properly connect:

    [http://www.akasa.co.uk/update.php?tpl=product/product.detail.tpl&no=181&type=Enclosures&type_sub = 2.5%20Enclosure&model=AK-OA2SSA-BK]

    My problem is with the BIOS Toshiba waiting for a STRANGE device in this Sata port and cams out with a "CD" error, disable the Sata port.

    I have a workaround, if I start the PC, BIOS after with what this either in the Bay of the STRANGE, after Windows starts, I have insert the second HARD drive in the Bay of ODD, go to "Windows Device Manager" a 'check for changes on the hardware"and voila, the second HDD works fine , for me, it shows a limitation in the BIOS.

    Y at - it assistance, a Beta BIOS or something else, I have the latest BIOS 3.00 for this machine installed.

    Please check this thread:

    It seems that Tecra M10 does not support a select bay that would allow you to use a 2nd HDD rather than the ODD.
    As far as I know select bay is compatible with the Tecra M1, M2, M3, M4, M5, S1, S2

  • Cannot connect and use 2 hard drives Canvio de Store.E at the same time

    Hello

    I have 2 devices Store.e Canvio: 2 TB and 3 TB respectively but it seems that I can't connect/use them at the same time, as if I do it, one of them (the last I connected), becomes inaccessible ("access denied").

    If I disconnect the first device I connected, the other starts to work,

    Is an odd question, and I can not find someone to live something similar...

    No idea how could it be the cause, or how can I solve it?

    Thank you

    I m wondering if the same problem is displayed using another computer or another USB hub with an additional power supply.

    From my point of view of the few this problem could be related to the low power provided by a single USB port.

    The two hard drives seem to support the USB 3.0 standard.
    The USB 2.0 port common provides 500mA and USB 3.0 requires 900mA
    This means that two USB devices connected simultaneously use 1800mA which could be too much for the USB ports for s laptop

  • Satellite 2800-200 - what external enclosure that I can use for HARD drive

    My daughter has a laptop of Toshiba S2800-200 eldely.
    It is broken where the mains cable between the machine and she has been quoted £100 for repair!
    She has already bought a new computer repair is not an option.

    Toshiba, however, contains some files (photos, music etc, mainly) that she would like to keep, but get the files of the computer laptop and on its new machine is a problem.

    My thought is to buy a cheap USB basket somewhere like eBay, remove the hard drive and use the caddy to download photos. etc on his new computer via the USB port.

    To buy the correct caddy I need to know the full spec (diameter, capacity, etc.) of the Toshiba hard drive and I don't have a clue!

    Can someone here point me to the spec of the drive on a Toshiba S2800-200 please?

    I guess the Satellite 2800 series is supported by the IDE HDD controller and HARD drive would be also a 2.5 IDE HDD.
    That's why you should look for a USB IDE HDD box

  • Can I use two hard drives in the Qosmio G40-10th

    If so where is it located?
    Ther would be all issues around extra heat that could be generated etc.?

    I have had mine for about 5/6 months and have had a screen replaced (defective backlight).
    Many other people have had problems?

    I wonder if its worth buy the extended warranty.

    See you soon.
    Sunil

    Hello

    As far as I know this laptop takes support only a single HARD disk.
    Check the underside of the laptop. Do you see a second slot (cover) the second HDD?
    I imagine that it has a single HARD drive Bay, and so only a single HARD disk can be used.

    I m not a G40 owner and, therefore, I cannot comment on any other issue.
    But each computer technology may start to malfunction it is why I always recommend buying an extended warranty.
