Glad to help, but first we need a bit more information:

Is it one Disk that's been partitioned or 2 physical Hard Drives?
What Operating System?
Are you using the C: For the OS and to install your programs or are you using as a Backup drive?

You're okay, its not too complex..

Your C drive is now nearly totally full. The problem with this is that the PC always needs a bit of space free on C drive to work properly.

So, if you can, delete or move some files over to your D drive

You'll also find that a lot of junk can accumulate on your C drive, like temporary internet files etc, there are lots of free programs that can find these and delete them for you.

Go to www.download.com and search for 'windows care', get the latest version and you can get rid of junk files and generally clean up your PC.

There's another program I find good for clearing files - Glary tools. It's freeware, and should help you clean up the pc a little bit.

Download and Run www.ccleaner.com it will clean out the crud built up over 7 years... Feck it.. 7 years and never reinstalled XP? You must be a martyr, it must be like molasses by now.

I never made it past 7 weeks without a fresh install :eek:
I was a bit obsessive and experimental tho :P
