Help with Disk Management and how to simplify the hard drive
Hello all,
I am currently trying to figure out what the previous tech did to this user's computer. I should preface this by saying that the end goal is to expand C because it is almost full. As you can see from the attachment, there are three additional partitions after C. I am wondering what the best course of action is to simplify this set up. There isnt anything of major value in the three extended partitions. Mainly, he set up alternate temp directories to them, however I know how to change that. My first question is why is there a page file in both C and E. The one in E is the same size as the RAM on the machine, which I understand is how it should be. The one on C, is like 800,000 kbs, so about a tenth the size it should be. So my question is, if I copy page sys from E to say the last partition, then merge E and F into C (using partition magic). THEN copy and replace the Page Sys file onto C, and finally merge G into C, how safe is doing that (sorry for the run on sentence there). As I previously stated, I really want to simplify the partitions on the drive. Or at least get it so there is more than 30.2 mbs remaining on C. Or is there a better, safer option?
I apologize if any of this is unclear, windows support is not my forte. I can try to clarify anything as needed.
Thanks!
