My computer tells me "D" drive is almost full and "C" drive is almost empty. How can I move data from "D" to "C" and what can be moved without compromising the function of the system? Thanks, wileycoyote.

Normally, the C: drive is where Windows is installed and the D: drive is a Recovery Partition which you don't want to mess with. It is normally "almost full" and nothing else should be put there.

Please post a screen shot of Disk Management before we do anything else. To do this:

Click on Start then Run, type diskmgmt.msc and press Enter. Expand thw window so the C and D drives are visible.
Make sure the Disk Management window has the focus.
Press Alt+Print Screen. That will capture the active window.
Start MSPaint - Start then Run, type mspaint and press Enter.
Press Ctrl+v to paste the picture in to MS Paint.
Click File then Save as and save it to your Desktop.

It's not a good idea to recommend messing with drive sizes until you understand the partition layout of the drive. As I said, if the D: drive is the Recovery Partition then you don't want to touch it.

Let's wait and see if wileycyote comes back with that info before proceeding.

Wileycoyote; I couldn't send the diskmgmt you requested as the file is over 1MB. The (C:) is 64.29GB and has 56.69GB free space, 88% and the (D:) is a FAT32 with 20.22GB and has 1.58GB free space, 15%.

Thanks for your help, Wileycoyote
