Q: Still having problem after i restored my computer.Again thanks for all the help This is a question for an expert about defrag' and memory. Can someone explain this item on Physical memory. I have two readings> No 1> 58% NTES C:/ 20.13 GB Free Space. No 2 > 99% NTES E:/ 2.75 GB Free Space. Can I delete E:/ and what happens to the 2.75 GB Free Space. When I was restoring my computer it deleted a most of my folders and files. But, what I would like to do is format my Hard Drive and start from scratch. The other point is when i open MY Computer Tab The C;? Drive is highlighted in Blue and so are some of my documents. I may have two versions of XP in my computer How can I check out these items.
A: Here's what that means: Your computer has more than one drive, depending on the hardware you add. Assignment of Drive letters: A: is reserved for a Floppy drive B: is reserved for a second Floppy drive. C: is your main hard drive and operating system The remaining next few letters are assigned to the following pieces of hardware that you DO have in the order I'm listing. If you do not have an item, then the next letter is assisgned to the next in line. D: second hard drive (usually used for storage) E: CD player (the one that slides out to drop in CDs) F: DVD player (this would be E: if you do not have a CD player) G: Will get assigned to a Flash Drive you connect. and other drives such as an external storage drive. So according to what you wrote above your C: drive has 20.13 GB Free space. That's good. And your E: drive has 2.75 GB Free space. Now since it is reading the media in the slot; and a CD does only goes to 750Mb then you must have a DVD sitting in the slot that has part used and part with the 2.75 GB free space left. NO you would not delete your E: Drive. If the C: Drive and some other folders are highlighted, just click something else and the blue (=highlighting) will change to the thing you clicked). Before you start deleting things go to Belarc.com, and download their tool to read what you have on your machine, for you to be certain. Note: In order for you to have two versions of XP on your machine, each would have to be on a different hard drive (that would mean you have two hard drives), or each would be on a seperate partition on your main hard drive. I would suggest that you google building my own pc, and read about computer hardware and software operating systems, so that you become more comfortable with your machine. ^j^
