Try it: Try to winRAR a rip vid using High Compression and you will usually either: a) have little or no change, b) actually end up with a Larger file.
Ok, Mr. Know-It-All, well atleast I bothered to give him some options, rather than assuming. Also every little helps. Never actually seen a file get larger when it has been compressed.
jolancer said:burning to Optical Disk is a no brainer... if he had those or wonted to do so, id assume he woulda done so already. (some people including myself dont like optical disks, and since he didnt already use them, id assume hes not to fond of that method either).
There you go assuming again. If he hasn't said, you should still tell him the options.
jolancer said:Online storage for Large files witch he wonts to remain accessible is impossible, becuase of how long it would take to transfer.
As I said before every little helps moving documents/installers to an online storage can help.

O rly?

Cleanup saved 950mb on my dad's PC. I believe that is a significant amount.
And finally I already recommending buying a new hard drive. I didn't think it was nessarcary to repeat what I said and critise my comments.
If he had no spare money to buy a new hard drive and everyone was like you, assuming everything and telling him to buy a hard drive where would he be now?
