You don't "add memory" to a hard drive/disk. A hard drive has a FIXED
amount of "storage space" when you purchase it. Once your hard drive is
consumed w/ files that exhaust that space, you either have to delete some of
those files, or move them to other media (e.g., CD/DVD) to recoup the space
for NEW files. Short of that, the only other option is to purchase another
hard drive.

Mellilla 2003 - your post is confusing in referring to adding more space to
"my hard disk driver"-a "driver" is
exactly that - it "drives" the hard drive. If you mean adding to you hard
drive - no.

No, you can't do that. A hard drive is an electromechanical device of a
fixed size. You can't make it bigger or smaller.

Trying to change its size is like trying to change your Ford Focus into a
18-wheel truck. It can't be done.

Are you trying to increase the Swap space?
