Go to the Control Panel option on your start menu and choose performance and maintenance.  There should be an option for freeing up space on your hard drive.  It is call defragmenting, and does not remove programs or file.  It only rearranges them to make them more organized and take up less space.

Reformatting the drive will get rid of all the garbage in your system.  You have the remnants of files that have been deleted, a pile of junk in your Windows temp file plus a load of other junk floting around.\n\nRather than formatting your drive, download Window Washer from Limewire,com - this will clean all the sheit off the drive and make the maximum amount space available to you.

The optimum thing to do would be to swap the drives and re-install windows on the 80 gig.  But unfortunately thats a lot of work as everything will have to be re-installed.\n\nYour only other option would be to move as much as possible over to your drive D:. Data, files, anything you can. You won't be able to move your programs to D: unless you uninstall them from C: and re-install them on D:.\n\nOne thing you can do... if you have a lot of files in your My Documents folder is re-locate it to the D: drive.  To do this, just right-click on the "My Documents" folder on your desktop and hit "Properties" There will be a button that says "Move". Click on it and move it to say "D:&#92; My Documents".  It will even move all the files over for you. This should free up quite a bit of space.\n\nIf your C: drive is full, you can always delete some of the Windows Garbage files... here's a list of stuff you can safely delete...\n\nIn C:&#92; Windows... Any folder at the top that starts with "$" before it. Those are left-over Windows Update folders and can be safely deleted.\n\nAnything in C:&#92; Documents and Settings&#92; {username}&#92; Local Settings&#92; History&#92;\n\nAnything in C:&#92; Documents and Settings&#92; {username}&#92; Local Settings&#92; Temp&#92;\n\nAnything in C:&#92; Documents and Settings&#92; {username}&#92; Local Settings&#92; Temporary Internet Files&#92; \n\nYou can also move your windows page file over to D:. This is actually recommended by Microsoft for systems with more than one hard drive.\n\nTo do this Hit your Start button, Settings, Control Panel, System. Hit the Advanced Tab, then the Settings button under "Performance", then the Advanced Tab again, then the Change button.\n\nSelect drive C: in the list at the top, select the "No Paging File" radio button and hit the "Set" button.\n\nThen select drive D: in the list, select the "System managed Size" radio button, and hit "Set" again. Hit OK three times and re-boot the PC.\n\nWhen it comes back to your desktop, use Windows Explorer to browse to drive C: and delete the page file if its there. (It'll let you delete it now. You may have to turn on "Show protected operating system files" in Folder Options/View to see it.)\n\nThat should at least get you started...

1. Wipe harddrive\n2. Install Windows 2000 or XP\n3. Wonder why you didn't do this sooner

If there is no critial data on the drive, use the control panel to remove all of the programs which have nothing to do with the hardware function.  Often you can use an internet search engine to help sort out what is best to leave.  Make sure that you delete any games.  Use Explorer to delete any directories for the games and programs removed.\n\nNext delete all of the files from My Documents.\nNow you need to run a utility called Disk Cleanup.  This will depend upon which version of Windows you have, but you should be able to find it using the Help function (It is usually found in Programs, under Accessories, System Tools).  Delete every thing that you can, including the stuff in the Trash can.\n\nNext open My Computer and highlight and select your hard drive with a single right click.  You should see an options window open.  Left click on Properties to open a drive window.  Next left click on the Tools tab, followed by the Defragment button.\n\nOnce the Defrag is done, your drive is going to be as clean as you can get it without special programs or information.  Windows should not be affected.

Well, you can only free up space by copying your files to a flash drive then deleting them. I assume that is what you mean. The largest hard drive hogs are video and music files. Put them onto CDs or jump/flash drives then delete, then empty your Recycle Bin.

I would assume you got that on ebay from hong kong...they compress the drive to make it hold more and when you format it you take it back to its orriginal/correct size....you got screwed! I have not figuered out how to make it take 2 gigs again....I run a computer shop and I just had a customer with the same problem.\n\n-Doc-

Start by looking in your Documents, Movies, Pictures, and Desktop folders for old, large files that you know you don't need any more. You can through those out but you might want back them up first. \n\nAdding RAM won't help with your hard drive, but a second hard drive would probably be a good idea. Just make sure it's a Firewire drive and it should show up when you plug it in. You can format it HFS+ if it isn't already by using Disk Utility (/Applications/Utilities) and then move files to it. That should free up plenty of space. \n\nDepending on your needs, it may be time to consider getting a Macbook. They're lots more powerful, and they've got larger hard drives. The smallest one is now 60GB.

Make sure your Recycle Bin is emptied.\nEmpty your history and cache from your internet web browser. In Internet Explorer go to \nTools-> Internet Options\nclick on the Clear History button\nclick on the Delete Files in the Temporary Internet files section.\n\nIf you guys download a lot of mp3s or movies, deleting them will clear up a lot of space.\n\nAnother option is to buy another hard drive, so you would have 2 hard drives. They are so inexpensive now days.\n\nRight now at Future Shop you can get a 250 Gig hard drive for $90.\n\nhttp://www.futureshop.ca/catalog/subclass.asp?catid=10484&mfr=&logon=&langid=EN&list=&page=0&sort=3
