Hello Group
I have a Acer laptop which I don't use much (iTunes mainly).
Drive C is nearly full - Drive D which is marked data is empty.
If and when I download a video I transfer it via a usb device to my computer
and delete the original download.
What's on drive C is basically what came with the laptop apart from iTunes
of course.
What happens when C is full ? will it automatically start using D or will I
have to do something.
Thank You
John

You will have to do something, nothing will happen automatically. I
suggest moving your iTunes Library over there, since it sounds like
that what most of your data is.

The D Drive is probably used for the backup recovery partition for your
Acer, and you should not try to copy any data to it. I would suggest using
an external USB drive to backup your music, pictures, and other files.
