How do I get my xp software to use the unused 133gb space located on my c: drive instead of using up all the space on my second and smaller (6.95 gb) H: hard disk? Then they say I have to delete something so they can add more. Thanks for any help you can provide. This is the first time I've had more than 1 hard disk and never had a problem like this before.

PS: There's not even enough space to defrag as the system is asking me to do.

Have you used disc cleanup yet? A lot of temporary files build up which you have to clean up manually

Yes, I have removed everything except the epson print driver. I even removed all other software that downloaded from Epson cd which is the only thing I have added since booting up with the Windows XP Home Software cd yesterday. No other user programs have been added, just what installs with Windows. I would think Windows would automaticall use the other hard drive when one is 80% full.
Thanks for trying. Chuck

XP will generally use the C drive for anything unless its told otherwise. What is being stored on the H drive?

Did you make the 133GB as your primary driver?
Or did you boot in to your smaller drive with XP?
