Help Needed Very Muchly
Hi , I’m hoping some kind Cellar regular might be able to help me with a problem I have with my laptop.
My hard-disk is partitioned nothing I have done must have been that way when I bought it, and I have two drives Vista C which hold all my programmes, windows system etc and the other drive noted Data E which hold pretty much bugger all and has 35GB of free space. I’m down to 1.02 GB of free space on my C drive which is not a great deal and I’ve pretty much Pared down the drive and got rid of anything I don’t need. I have tried two free programmes Paragon Partition manager and Easeus Partition manager to try and Increase the C drive, but neither will work, error boxes pop up quoting that there are errors on the drive or shared information on the drives which mean nothing to me. Now as I have not got the technical know how to figure out what the error messages mean, would it be possible to load any future programmes on to the Data E drive with the excess space rather than the C drive where they would normally default to?. And would they work? Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.. PS I can’t use the Vista tool to increase/decrease the drives either as the boxes are greyed out and won’t activate

You don't need those utilities, vista has this built in. Open a command prompt and type in chkdsk c: /r and then hit enter. It will ask you to reboot. That will fix the c drive errrors. Then when done, open a command prompt and type in chkdsk e: /r and hit ener. You may have to reboot there. Then look at the following url:
