    thanks lynx will give it a whirl, i can probably just transfer my music and movies to my xbox's harddrive i think it was a 40gig at least that will hold like 25% of my music and all my movies...

    and yeah i do have one partition (the whole harddrive worth of space) :LOL:

    Hey man, actually I tried that program (not the one from Norton),

    You obviously don't know the "magic" password.

    Political correctness is based on the principle that it's possible to pick up a turd by the clean end.

    My c: is 15GB, and it's 7.8gigs free right now.

    So 10gigs should be enough, but go for 15 or 20GB just in case.

    I only have a few apps in it's Program Files, most everything has been installed into E: Program Files (D: is a page file, both D and E are on a separate hard drive).
    I'm kinda curious as to why you put program files on a different drive, surely if you reformat c: you'll have to format e: too? Or is it for speed reasons, and if so does it actually make any difference?
