Thread: free space problem

what can i do to make more space on this computer?

You just need a computer with more room, dude. There's not much an extra 225 MB can do for you...

Here's my space:

the game i want to play requires space in the D: drive not the C: drive. the game needs over 6 gb of space on the D: drive.



plus my hard drive was fixed not to long ago.

The D: drive is the disk..

Are you trying to play the original game on the original disk? There should be enough room on the D: drive. You can't change that because that room is the actual disk, not your computer.

your trying to install from the disk yes? if so the disk is basically saying it needs a certain amount of gb's (space) before it will install from the disk.

how much free space left have you got on your hard drive? disk c:



@kyle, you have a good size hard drive lol.

i have 274GB on the C: drive and some ppl(from another site) say i should switch from D: drive to C: drive for the installtion of the game but i dont know how to do that. does anyone know how?

Select "Custom installation" and point the the disc to install to C:\

i did that and it says i didnt install it right. so what do i do now?

i used to know a site that would teach you that stuff but i lost the link i'm soary but in that case i won't be that much help

your out of luck cause even if you keep a clean on drive d your still not going to have enough room cause gb is bigger then mb and I see on your drive d it only goes to 449mb on yours no matter how much you delete still not going to get that game installed and that is not enough disc space.. on the drive your just going to have find a way that way you won't be waisting your time on cleaning your drive d out..

go to the start menu control panel performance and maintenance

administrative tools computer management disk management and change the drive letter from there

click on d: change drive letter path and make d:/ your C:/ drive

and see if that works out for ya..and then go see if you can install it.
