I am trying to reinstall a printer. The problem I am having, is that when i
bought the computer, my C: drive only had 13 GB on it. a partition of the C:
drive, the D: drive has 130 GB. I have plenty of spaceon the D: drive, but
when i try to run the installation program for the printer, there is not
enough memory left on my C: drive. Is there any way to make programs run
from the memory on the D:???
 
You must be referring to "virtual memory" instead of ram memory,both hds
use the same.To extend "system memory" and "virtual memory",youre best
bet is to increase ram (system memory".By adding another ram card,this
increases both,adding another physical hd would also add virtual memory.As
youre at now,the only solution besides a retail store,would be to open system
properties,advanced,performance,virtual memory,change button,L.click C:
drive,select "let system manage" click set 2X,close out.If another
physicall hd
was present,you'd do the same for both,other partitions doesnt cut it here...
