Partition help Needed for Win 7 64b
Hi,
A friend of mine who is not well informed re PCs has a problem that he
has ask for help
The PC is an i3 Windows 7 64b PC with about 12 G of RAM. It was
bought from Dell,and in the state of its arrival it had C: with a 50G
partition.
When I looked at it using TeamViewer, I found that, CP, Administration
Tools showed this

For my understanding D: is on it own physical drive of 1.8T and C: is
on a partitioned of a total of approx 63G !, with C: allocated about
56G!. After maybe 2 years they have run out of space on C: I had
originally assumed that C: and D: would be partitions on one physical
disk and I thought it would be easily using something like Easeus
Partition Manager.
Easeus Partition Manager shows exactly the same as Microsoft, CP,
Admin Tools, etc. ie Disk 0 is 1.8T and disk 1 is 63G
The easy thing would be for the owners to open the PC and see what
physical disks are installed, but given their experience they are
reluctant to do this. I am too disabled to travel to them or even open
a PC theses days; getting old is a *******.
Using Teamviewer and Easeus was able to get a few Gs from the
"Recovery" partition, but not enough to really help.
So, Disk 0 shows as 1.8G and C: + shows 63G.
I really can't believe one of the disks is a mere 60G.When the PC was
delivered 1 - 2 years ago they noted this and complained to Dell. Just
what exactly was I don't know but they say Dell said that they had
ordered 2T of disk space and that is what they have, and they should
live with it.
Please, can anyone tell me what Dell has set up here? Can there be
two physical disks, one of 1.8 T and one of 63G??
I know how to incorporate C: into D: as a bootable drive, but I am
very reluctant to try this using Teamviewer.
Any help, please?
