Harddrive Question

Hello,
I would like a bit of help please. My computer harddrive is split into three sections ('Local', 'Scratch' and 'Data') which was done by the manufacturerererererers of the PC. Being quite computer ignorant, I saved my Vst's etc. into 'Local' which contains the Program Files and only contains 16Gb. I now have no room for anything else on the 'Local' drive and I need to save different/new/more Vst's onto the harddrive. What should I do? Can I transfer everything onto the 'Data' drive which contains around 60Gb? How do I do this? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks. |

Or you might want to have a look at something like Partition Magic to have more control over those partitions.
You can then easily combine some or get rid of them alltogether and get back ONE big drive:

you should only have the basic programs that make your computer run on the local drive. IE- your messenger service, internet service and all that other stuff that installs when you install your PS program.
you can rename the drives the what you want then cut/paste the files to those drives for better organization.
by emptying out the local drive of all uneeded files it will make your pc run faster. after doing that you should run a disk defragment just to clean stuff up. :) |

one big drive is fine if you dont have alot of stuff. But if you have alot then it slows down the computer because it needs to look through everything on the one drive to run what you want it to. Haveing one drive with all your required programs allows for them to be found faster and run faster then having everything on one drive. |

Thanks for the replies. Great. :)
I've tried dragging and dropping a couple of vst's over to the 'Data' drive and it worked okay - the only problem is that they disappeared off the vst plugins folder in Cubase! Is there a way to get these back?

This seems a good option. I'll check that out. Thanks. |
