The Solution Rating System
|
|
| With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating. - The Grade of the Solution
- The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
- The Number of Author and Expert Comments
- The Number of Experts Contributing
- The Feedback of the Community
Your Input Matters Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site. If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support. Thank you! |

Asked by Donnie616 in Disk Partition Tools, Windows 7, Personal Computers
I have a 320 GB HDD in my PC. It is broken into 4 eqal partions of about 76 GBs each. One holds Win 7, an early version. Another is for the backups of that drive. (it filled up long ago, sioo I stopped using it as a back up partition. Of the remaining 2 Parts, one holds a version of XP and the other is basically empty.
I had no idea how much I would like this new OS. So this drive filled up very quickly. it got past me. First it slowed down dramatically, then I noticed about a week ago that it was not opening up folders if I clicked on them. I did thorough cleaning jobs to no avail. Today I noticed that there are only 5 GB of free space on my 76GB C: partition. PC is almost at a standstill except for the internet. Opening Files and folders is really becoming a chore. Even trying to move stuff to an external drive cannot be done at this point.
With all that in mind, Is there an easy way to clean this up or preferably, is there a way to combine all four partitions without losing Win 7? I do not care about the data on the 3 remaining Partitions. I do wish to keep the 70 gb of data on the C-drive partition, then combine the 4 parts. Can what I want to do be done?
Thanks in advance
