I received the CS2 upgrade today and am anxious to install it, however, I have a serious low disc space issue on my C Drive and am looking for some possible solutions.
I have gone through and removed any unnecessary programs, defragmented the drives, and have removed my photo and music files off of the C drive. But still, not much help.
My C drive is 16G with only about 1.5Gs free and my D drive is about 40Gs and about 35Gs free.
I calucalated the size of all of the programs installed on the C drive (within the add/remove system folder) and collectively this barely is the size of 1G.)
Any suggestions? Do I look at using something like Partion Magic to take some of the space on the D drive to the C drive? What could possibly be taking up the space on the C drive? Can I actually place programs on the D drive without negatively effecting the operation of the computer? (I have heard that all programs should be on the C drive and only files on the D drive.)
Any suggestions or testimonials from you drive experience would be helpful as I am ready to smash the computer!!
Thanks,
Russell

make sure that when you copied all of the files from the one drive to the other that you remembered to delete the pictures and remove them from the recycle bin. (i know this from experience)
i have had no negitive effects from running programs off my second hard drive. the only thing that i notice sometimes is that it runs the program a little bit slower but i blame that on the older hard drive being 5400RPM and marginal cache. |

Getting rid of all Save points except the most current one should open up some memory. Make sure everything is running smoothly before doing this.

Install it on the D drive.
Your C drive is rather small...go get an 80Gb or bigger one (with rebates they are not expensive) and reinstall everything on your new C drive.

there is no problem running the program on the D drive. We set all of our servers up with the OS on C and all the programs on D etc and have no troubles. There will be some files that will still be loaded on C.
It also sounds like you have partitioned 1 drive into 2 so there should be no difference in the speed.
I installed CS2 tonight and I need more memory to get this beast to run on my laptop, so looks like I will go to a 1gb of memory.
Good Luck
Karen

Yup...if everything is running smoothly...no need to restore back to last saturday...
Start button > My Computer > right click on Local Disk (c:) > choose Properties > Disk Cleanup button (while here check all boxes) > More Options tab > (under system restore) Clean Up button > Ok
Usually cleans up a lot on mine...
System Restore points are saved by a Percentage of the disk...may just want to check how much disk it is using.
Start button > right Click My Computer > choose Properties > System Restore tab > look at Disk space usage slider
by default I think it was quite large I'm running mine at 1% which gives me about 4 days of restore points.

Number one...
Delete all the files in your TEMP directory.
I had this problem... and until I discovered that I had a ton in there I had less that 1mg of space left. After I deleted those files I have 46.3gb of space left |
