You can't really move much to the other drive without some serious tweaking of the Windows Registry.
What you can do, however, is move your "My Documents" directory (right-click on it and chose properties and location, or something akin to that), and start installing programs and games onto the other drive (which will probably involve chosing advanced installation when installing).
What you CAN do, however, is get a partitioning-program, like Partition Magic or something similar, and expand the size of the C:-drive, given that you only have one harddrive partitioned into two partitions.

  • Macbook Pro Hard Drive Problem - Please Help

    My macbook pro had a hard drive failure so I went out and bought a new hard drive and got it to work with the Mac OS, although 2 days later it crashed and now it is not being found when I use the disk utility (Cmd-R), I even ran a hardware test and showed no trouble found.
    Should I return this hard drive and get another?
    Or is there another problem that is occuring?
    I have a Macbook Pro (mid 2012)
    Thank You.

    I just installed a new ribbon cable for the hard drive...Now I get a new error that is popping a message saying "2003-f", this happens when I try to go to the online recovery (CMD-R). I tried two different hard drives and still won't let me get to the utility.
    Someone please help, my mini semester classes have started for my University, and I am stuck with no laptop.
    Thank You.

  • Quicksilver Powermac G4 DVD drive question, please help!!

    Hi Guys I really hope someone can help me.
    I have got a Quicksilver powermac G4 (2001) it has only an internal CD drive. I have purchased the lastest tiger series a s cds to be up to date. However, I've the got the computer mainly for recording music. I have Cubase system which requires a dvd drive. Can anyone recommend a external dvd drive I can use that is good enough for my mac and recording. I am frightened to buy an internal drive as I've no idea how to install one.
    Will be so grateful guys,
    Hannah

    Hi
    The Pioneer DVR-110D (or newer DVR-111D) is a popular choice, works with Tiger and burns both CDs and DVDs. Here in the UK they cost around £30 and in the States around $40 I think.
    The following tips may also help with installation, although most are fairly obvious:
    1. Try and use the right sized screwdriver, one that fits snugly into the screws, so you don't risk chewing up the screw heads.
    2. When you're removing the old drive from the computer, get someone to hold it as you undo the screws and disconnect the cables, so you don't risk it dropping onto the logic board.
    3. The power cable can be a tight fit, so you may need to pry it off the old drive with your finger nails or gently rock it from side to side. Don't pull directly on the cables though.
    4. The power cable and ribbon cable connectors are keyed (or shaped) so they'll only fit one way. If you're having trouble connecting them to the new drive, make sure they're the right way up.
    You'll also just need to check the new drive is configured correctly. On the back there should be two rows of pins with a small jumper block. By moving the jumper block between different pairs of pins, you can configure the drive as master, slave or CS (cable select). It needs to be set to master. The drive should come with instructions or have a sticker on it indicating which pair of pins is master.
    I hope this helps.

  • URGENT Dual Layer Drive question - PLEASE HELP

    I have just completed a 28 hour compression of a 720p feature movie for a public screening tonight, and the file size is a little too big for a standard DVD.
    The solution seem to me to be to purchase an external dual-layer burner.
    1) Can someone recommend a burner that is compatible with my system, which is a G5, Dual 2Ghz with Final Cut Studio, Ver 1?
    2) Since I have never needed to work with dual- layer discs before, is my thinking flawed here? These dual-layer discs WILL play back on a standard DVD player, right?
    Although I have been an editor for 23 years, I have never had the need for a larger DVD format than the standard 4.7gb DVD-5 disc, so I am feeling like a real rookie right now.
    I hope I am on the right track here, and that someone can guide me into the light! As always, I appreciate any and all help.
    Van

    I've used only internal Dual layer, Opticarc AD-7170A that shipped with new Mac, and Pioneer DVR-108 that I put in my old G4.
    The pioneer 108 has been a wonderful burner (reg and DL) over all other burners for me, but is a old model.
    I have used the Pioneer 108 with a firewire external HD case with no problem (as a option)
    Roxio's Toast is a must (by all accounts) to regulate the burn speed. Never a problem for me... I have read the slower the burn the better the disc reading by the player, I usually burn at 2x for DL then check on a very old Sony.. if it plays there it plays everywhere...
    Verbatim DVD+R DL media has worked also with no problem.
    Hope this info helps!
    Best!

  • Iomega hard drive question -- please help!

    I am trying to use my iomega desktop hardrive usb 2.0 and the instructions are pretty clear up until the step where it says:
    "select the partition needed for your mac:
    GUID partition table for bootability on an intel-based mac computer
    Apple partition map for a powerPC-based mac"
    The specs for my mac are as follows:
    2.16 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
    1 GB 667 MHz RAM
    Macintosh HD
    I was thinking of choosing the GUID, but I am not sure and I don't want to mess up because there are no further instructions and I am clueless as to what to do!

    Yes, use GUID.

    I will update thread with their reply as nothing, even Driver Genius Professional 11 has located the actual working driver. Once an update is verified, I will post back to this thread since I couldn't find the right answer online.
    THIS BTW I TESTED IS INCORRECT [You may verify if you don't believe such] :
    http://www.experts-exchange.com/Software/System_Utilities/Q_26292317.html <- That didn't work [Found driver online via Google] and link isn't working anymore in that post.

    I've also been getting an image with the folder and question mark. I've tried everything on the apple support page but it doesn't seem to work either.

    Well, I tried all of your suggestions and they didn't work -- no surprise because I was trying to backup to my external c.d. disk.  Duh!  The application for the home is in the mail.

    My PC computer was wiped (virus) including itunes. How do I transfer the many playlists and music on my ipod to the new re-installed itunes?? Ipod is synced to old itunes. I have all original music files on external hard drive. Please help?
    New itunes is trying to wipe the ipod. But have many many playlists (many hours making) which I want to save. Any help would be appreciated.

    If you want to just extract the playlists from your iPod, plug it in iTunes.  When it appears under devices, right->click on it and choose Export Playlists.  Save them to a location such as your desktop and them import them into your library once you have copied and imported all of your music back into it.

  • I love Firefox 3.6 but lately it wont let me sign in to google,on XP Pro or Vista home,Please Help

    Firefox 3.6 wont let me sign in to my Google acc any more, so I cant use Bookmarks etc now, on XP pro or Vista home(we have 2laptops) I am also getting the msg URL not valid/cant connect, even thought I try to load from my 2nd Tab with the 9 pages on it. I put firefox on all my pals&family's laptops & now its happening on theirs also, and I keep getting asked to upgade to the latest version.....I did this last year Version 7 I think but it didnt work well so I had to go back to Firefox 3.6. I do realise that the 3.6 is getting old and will have to be replaced, but which version to choose as there are so many??? I need the new Firefox to work as good with Google search,Bookmarks etc and Utube, TV & iplayers and MSN Games online, So do I fix this one or download a new one as I will have to for the others also,We use XP Pro & Vista mainly. Please Help...Thanking you,yours sincerely..liamo777

    Google changed the logon URL for various services and the Google Toolbar is trying to logon to the wrong domain. Google isn't going to be fixing the Google Toolbar add-on for Firefox, they announced back in July that they were discontinuing it for Firefox 5.0 and later versions.

    I AM LOOKING FOR ADVANTEST R3271 LABVIEW6.1 DRIVER(GPIB),PLEASE HELP ME. THANKS.

    Hi,
    I am not sure what the R3271 is, but we have a driver for the R3272 (Spectrum Analyzer with GSM option). Normally API's do not change significantly and so it is very likely that you will be able to use this driver for your application. You can get it by going to www.ni.com/idnet. The easiest way to get the the page is just to seach by vendor.
    Hope this helps out.

    Can anyone tell me how to get rid of tlb search? It unfortunately entered into my mac. Whenever I use safari, a pop-up window opens with some ads. Please help me to find a way to remove this malware.

    You installed the "DownLite" trojan, perhaps under a different name. Remove it as follows.
    Malware is constantly changing to get around the defenses against it. The instructions in this comment are valid as of now, as far as I know. They won't necessarily be valid in the future. Anyone finding this comment a few days or more after it was posted should look for more recent discussions or start a new one.
    Back up all data.
    Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
    /Library/LaunchAgents/com.vsearch.agent.plist
    Right-click or control-click the line and select
              Services ▹ Reveal in Finder (or just Reveal)
    from the contextual menu.* A folder should open with an item named "VSearch" selected. Drag the selected item to the Trash. You may be prompted for your administrator login password.
    Repeat with each of these lines:
    /Library/LaunchDaemons/com.vsearch.daemon.plist
    /Library/LaunchDaemons/com.vsearch.helper.plist
    /Library/LaunchDaemons/Jack.plist
    Restart the computer and empty the Trash. Then delete the following items in the same way:
    /Library/Application Support/VSearch
    /Library/PrivilegedHelperTools/Jack
    /System/Library/Frameworks/VSearch.framework
    ~/Library/Internet Plug-Ins/ConduitNPAPIPlugin.plugin
    Some of these items may be absent, in which case you'll get a message that the file can't be found. Skip that item and go on to the next one.
    From the Safari menu bar, select
              Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Extensions
    Uninstall any extensions you don't know you need, including any that have the word "Spigot" or "Conduit" in the description. If in doubt, uninstall all extensions. Do the equivalent for the Firefox and Chrome browsers, if you use either of those.
    This trojan is distributed on illegal websites that traffic in pirated movies. If you, or anyone else who uses the computer, visit such sites and follow prompts to install software, you can expect much worse to happen in the future.
    You may be wondering why you didn't get a warning from Gatekeeper about installing software from an unknown developer, as you should have. The reason is that the DownLite developer has a codesigning certificate issued by Apple, which causes Gatekeeper to give the installer a pass. Apple could revoke the certificate, but as of this writing, has not done so, even though it's aware of the problem. This failure of oversight is inexcusable and has compromised both Gatekeeper and the Developer ID program. You can't rely on Gatekeeper alone to protect you from harmful software.
