The screenshot will show you what I'm talking about, and show the problem I have on my laptop :P.

The OS is almost full, but I have another 393 GB which for some reason is (and always has been) on a separate drive. Is there anything I can do, maybe moving the OS to the other hard drive :)?

Thanks :D!

If there's nothing on that drive, you should be able to go into Computer Management > Disk Management, delete that D: drive and then extend your C: drive to fill up the free space (assuming they're one physical disk).

I went in to Disk Management and used 'Shrink Volume' on the D: drive, but then I can't 'Extend Volume' on any other, only the same one which I just shrunk :S.

That's because the free space is to the right of the D: drive, you'd need to delete D: before you can extend C: into the free space.

Format?

Forgot to reply, it wouldn't let me delete D: because 'you can't delete the current boot or hibernation drive' - something like that anyway (A).

Managed to fix it eventually :P:D. Thread closed.
