My Fujitsu notebook came with a C and a D drive which I
assume are just partitions of the single drive. The C is
only 3.5 gb and the balance is on the D. This creates a
problem of low disk space when I try to download service
pack 2. I have tried moving some files from C to D but
I'm afraid of moving things that might affect the
performance.
 
How big is the total drive space? What does it show as in
disk management?
You can get a program, such as Partition Magic, and resize
the partitions to give yourself more space on C:. You can
check to see that files and folders, such as My Documents
and Temp Internet are located on D:.

You might ask Fujitsu what they intended, did they want only
the OS on C: and all programs and files on D:?

you can move any data files you want to the D: drive

to transfer applications...you will need to *uninstall* them...

then reinstall on your D: drive
 
If the computer came with all software installed and no
disks how would I re-install?

then you can't

probably best just to keep all data on the D: drive
and any new apps you get...just install them there
 
Let's say just supposing the the HD failed right now, what are you going
to do? Consider contacting the vendor and get the CD's you need to put
the pieces back together, and also backup ANYTHING you deem the least
bit important!

Normally, in that situation, the equivalent of a system recovery disc is
stored on a partition and is activated by a special button at boot time. I
would imagine that the install files are on 'C' along with the installed
operating system although this does seem to be a bit on the small side
