Clean Drive D

[Carl2435]

I am running Compaq.Which is a Presario.Also Windows XP.

Hard drive is 80 GB. I have a Drive C, and a Drive D. Drive C

has plenty of free space. But Drive D free space is about used

up. Drive D has a capacity of 4.95 GB. It is showing free space

at 937 MB. Is there a way to clean Drive D ? Thank You

Why do you need space on this particular drive?

you really need a partition

manager so that you can

resize that small partition

and make it larger.



however, to provide you

with a direct answer to

your question,



I would create a folder on

the c drive and call it something

like ddrive.



then move all the contents

on the d drive to the new

folder above.

What is on Drive D:? What do you mean by "clean" it? Do you want to

delete everything there?



Did drive D: come with what's on it now when you first got the

computer? If so, almost certainly, it's your recovery partition, and

it's there to let you reinstall Windows if you ever need to. You got

that instead of an installation CD.



If that's what it is, do not do *anything* to drive D:.
