Why?

Now the problem is the C: drive is nearly full yet the D drive is empty. But I cant store stuff practically on the D: drive cause when you go to my music, or my pictures it goes to the C: drive.

PLus I cant figure out how to make it just one big drive
Not the best idea in a laptop. Poor little 5400rpm hard drive. Spinning all the way to the 250th gig every time as opposed to bypassing half the drive first is a lot of extra wear and tear. I guess laptop HDs are cheap enough, but its a pain to have to reinstall everything.

Speaking of which, heres my usual plug for cheap computer work. PM me if needed.
