Gil, there is nothing on the second partition. Where do I get Easeus
Partition Master?
Dorothy
Dorothy,
What's on the second partition? If nothing, then use Easeus Partition Master
and delete the second partition, then resize the first partition to take up
the entire drive. You should be good to go.

Subject: Re: [Simply Computers] more memory ?
Mike, my hard drive is 120 GB. I don't understand Partitions at all. 51 GB
on the first are almost full. Can I just start putting things on the second
???
Dorothy
The size of a hard drive is specified by the amount of information that can
be stored on it. It has nothing to do with the amount of memory installed in
the computer.
If your hard drive is indeed a 2GB drive (means it can hold 2 gigabytes of
data) it certainly could be getting full. A 2GB drive is small into today's
world where drive sizes are often measured in terabytes (1000 gigabytes).
Your computer will tell how much of your hard is used (filled with data) and
how much space is free (available to be filled with data). Removing files
from the had drive will increase the amount of free space on the hard drive
but it doesn't change the amount memory installed in your computer.
I seriously doubt your Acer 5050 laptop has only a 2GB hard drive....those
were sold with a minimum of a 80GB hard drive. You need to look again to see
how big your hard drive really is.

Maybe I am confused. A couple of weeks ago, I got a message that I was down
to less than 1gb of memory. When I click on Properties for my C drive, it
shows less than 2gb now. I took that to mean that my hard drive is almost
full, not sure why. So, I guess I need a bigger hard drive and not more
memory ??? Why doesn't taking off programs increase the memory on the Hard
Drive ?? Just when I think I've learned something, I find out that I am
waaay wrong !!
Dorothy
Removing files from your hard drive will not increase the amount of RAM
(Random Access Memory) installed in your computer. It will only increase the
amount of free space on your hard drive.
What makes you think you need more memory (RAM)?

I have an Acer Aspire 5050 laptop, 120 GB HDD, 1 GB DDR2. For the last
couple/few weeks, I have been moving things to an external hard drive, then
uninstalling them from the laptop. But, I just cannot get more memory.
Properties says I have 1.88 gb
of 51 gb. I have run some the of the things suggested, not much difference.
Can more memory be added to this laptop ?? Who would I have do it, if so,
Staples, or a PC store in my area ???
Also I would like to not start everything that is in my start up, but there
are so many Microsoft, I am afraid to really mess things up by not starting
them !!
HELP !!!
Dorothy
