Reinstalling Windows

[MikePB3]

How much faster will Windows go if i move it to my 111 gig drive instead of my 40, the 40 has 38 gigs on it and the 11 has 34. Is it worth it to switch?

i doubt you will notice a difference. if you were down to 700 or 500 mb of free space, you'd prolly want to consider moving.

run disk cleanup in start menu | accessories | system tools

you can also disable system restore to free space via control panel | system properties.

if you only have 2 gigs left on the 40 then you may aswell swap it? you will have to soon enough anyway

One of the rules for Windows is that the less space you have on a hard drive, the slower it runs. I've typically liked to keep at least 10% of a hard drive open, for best results.

As far as hard drives go, though, there are many different aspects that affect speed. It's quite possible for a 40 gig hard drive to be quicker than a 300 gig hard drive, depending on rpm, connection type, and format.
