Re: New Hard Drive
I wouldn't rush to fill it. You'll do that gradually yourself in time. Indeed you always want some spare capacity so that your PC has space to breathe.

Re: New Hard Drive
19 gb is less than 20% space on the drive is this total free space as if it is its not enough

If as it looks you have left 19 gb unpartitioned ill have to ask why? why didnt you make the last partition take all the spare space???

Re: New Hard Drive
I think he has partitioned his drive into many partitions (like all his threads regarding similar frigging topics!), and has a 19Gb partition left over... that he doesnt know what to use it for

I.e.
C Drive 30Gb - System Files
D Drive 30Gb - Games
E Drive 25Gb - Music
F Drive 25Gb - Movies
G Drive 19Gb - Doesnt know what to use it for

Etc... Etc... and is now asking if there is anything simple it can be used for, to increase the performance of his machine...

I really dont think there is.... to be honest....

Re: New Hard Drive
Seems daft to me not to enlarge the last partition by 19Gb. Putting the swap file in the last partition would just cause lots more disk head thrashing and slow things down more than having it on the first partition

If the drive fails that kinda makes the backup a wee bit hard to get...

Re: New Hard Drive
Seems nuts to put all his eggs in one basket still. Would be better off with multiple hard drives not multiple partitions
