flamestrike Posted July 18, 2005 Share Posted July 18, 2005 Ok one day i shut down my computer, i came back a few hours later, and i tried to fix it for hours, but no luck, so i reformated, i was happy cause it was running so fast until... i got this little message in the corner that says my drive is full and im like "that cant be!" somehow, my c drive and d drive got switched, so all my programs and such are on my d drive which only has 5 gbs worth of space, and my c drive like hasnt even been used, i went through tons of menus and cant figure it out, so... How do i switch all my programs and such back to the c drive? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
runesmithie Posted July 18, 2005 Share Posted July 18, 2005 Uninstall->Reinstall :) And what you are looking for to change the sizes of the drives is a Partition Manager I just posted something! ^_^ to the terrorist...er... kirbybeam. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smc5528 Posted July 18, 2005 Share Posted July 18, 2005 Yup thats exactly what you have to do. Unfortunatly formatting your drive is several hours of work. Thats why you always backup your data. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phyco1312 Posted July 18, 2005 Share Posted July 18, 2005 When you have multiple hard drives, the data you erase from one drive doesn't mean your other data will be deleted. You have your programs on your D drive, but if they're actually PROGRAMS, then you'll need to reinstall all of them because whenever you installed the programs originally it writes data into DLL files and also into the system registry. Your documents and other files that can run independently are fine, but for the programs, you'll have to reinstall ALL of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds like it's not multiple hard drives but a single drive with 2 partitions I just posted something! ^_^ to the terrorist...er... kirbybeam.
