Is it true that you should balance out your hard drive? If so, how?
Here are my hard drive numbers.


Local disk (C ) used space is 16,674,054.144 bytes 15.5 GB
Free space 9,548,103,680 bytes 8.89 GB
Capacity 26.222.157,824 bytes 24.4 GB

Programs (D) used space is 341,504,000 bytes 325 mb
Free space 23,774,982.144 bytes 22.1 Gb
Capacity 24,116,486,144 bytes 22.4 gb

Files E) used space 2,449,547,264 bytes 2.28 gb
Free space 29,168,394,240 bytes 27.1 GB
Capacity 31,617,941,504 bytes 29.4 g

What exactly do you mean by "balance your hard drive"? I know of no such
term used in reference to a PC.

"Balance out your hard drive"? Sorry, I have no idea what you mean by
that. Can you explain, please?

Jspeedo - Balancing is a term some Administrators use to represemt workload
distribution.

It appies to multiple server installations (Farms) and multiple Raid
configurations (Although Windows Home Server uses "balancing: two or more
HDS). Everyday home/personal use - forget about it.

Well, my first hard drive went out. When I got my computer back. The guy
said to make sure that the drives should have the same amount of
information it each partition percentage wise I guess.

If that's what you mean by "balance out your hard drive," it's
completely false. He doesn't know what he's talking about.
