Well it is probably 2 drives because that would be sort of a weird partition. I would just install things on the second drive just change the install path from C:/ to whatever the empty drives name is. It doesn't really matter because 140 gb is alot of space so the only way you could run out of space or not be able to install on it is if the drive has another OS installed on it like linux.

Also heres a tip when writing a post make sure you write in a way that people can read and not full of gramatical errors and mispelled words.

Ok so you are asking if you can move files from one hard drive to the other, right. You can move files from one hard drive to the other. Applications i would uninstall and then install them on the other hard drive. Back up the data that the program might have saved in the program's file folders. When you install all you have to do is say that you want to install it on the other hard drive when it asks what directory you want it to go in. I would leave all of the Windows files and things that are important on the original hard drive, b/c if you move those than the computer won't work.

No dark he didint ask that he wants to move space from the secondary drive to the primary.

What r you talking about i never said i he wanted to move files from the secondary to the primary. I rad his post it said his primary was full and he wanted to make sapce and want to know if you could move files from one to the other.

well guys dont fight it was confusing agter i read it too. i asked both questions and they have been answered except the question if i can move memory from one drive to another and im going to guess no. i will just put stuff on the secondary to make it easir

Re: 2 hard drives on comp one full

Actually there are ways to resize partitions, and transfer space to one from another, but they involve buying tools like Partition Magic, (now owned by Symantec, the makers of Norton products). Here's a link to their website:

There is also a trial version around, but I couldn't tell you what functionality is missing from it. Here's a URL to that:
