    Also buy an external harddrive and copy them all onto it, as backup.

    Unless you are duel booting or sharing the pc with someone, to need to have a partition at all.......

    Why Partitioning Your Hard Drive Makes Sense

    Most PCs come from the factory with a single partition on their hard drive, meaning that it shows up as one drive in the Computer window (as C:, typically). But keeping your data, applications, and operating system on the same partition can be risky because, if something happens to the partition's index file (the file that tells your computer where the various pieces of your data are located), your computer won't be able to boot up off that drive--and even if you boot up with a recovery disc or external drive, you won't be able to access the rest of your data.

    Partitioning your hard drive essentially tells your computer to treat portions of that drive as separate entities. If you keep your system and apps on a partition separate from your data (documents, music, video, and the like), the data will be easier to back up (because your backup utility won't bother to copy the system and apps, which you can reinstall from the discs or redownload from an online source). In addition, you'll be less likely to lose your data in an accident; and if you ever need to reformat and reinstall Windows, you won't have to worry about restoring your data backups.
    You can also set up an emergency partition. Suppose that Windows unexpectedly croaks and you don't have your emergency boot disc handy. If you've created a bootable partition that's large enough to contain a stripped-down OS and a handful of diagnostic tools, you can use it to rescue your data and salvage your computer. Some computer manufacturers (Lenovo, for example) supply a built-in emergency partition on some of their PCs, but you can make your own, if your PC lacks one.

    Great shame upon you.

    Our most discerning members are now into goats. Yes, even the Welsh.


    That means more sheep for the more classier members of the forum, so it's win/win for everybody. Especially those of the colonies (merkins excluded unless you pay massive back taxes to the queen and renounce your ridiculous policitcal system)
    Some people think it don't, but it be.

    You should have told him that some stuff can't be moved - has to reside on C:

    I expect he knew that already, but if he didn't know, he'll find out in the process. The examples I gave can all be moved.

    COCKY UP.


    After performing jiggery Pokery, my PC will not boot up.
    Unfortunately I couldn't get it looked at due to coming on holiday (by mistake).

    I am now reduced to using the telling bone.

    When I return home I will take the PC to the vets, after first removing the small axe from the top of it

    A month later - all is well.

    I have lots of room now thanks to the repair shop deleting everything.

    EVERYTHING - all my shit music vids collected over years, all my shit photos taken over years, goat porn, sheep porn, pictures achieved through flexible spine stretching of my own bottom etc et bloody cetera.

    Now i have to remove all the crap bootleg programs they kindly installed for me and all will be good.

    You don't have an External HDD with all your stuff on it as a back-up?


    You will next time.

    Losing 20 odd years of homemade porn because it wasn't backed up would make Luigio jump off a tall buildingo.
