Fucking HD
 

Well... I finally got my HD space down into the MB's! Yay!...No, not yay... But, After using CC cleaner, I removed around 708 MB's of temporary internet files... and after removing some unused programs(WTF?!?!CorelDraw7???They're on something like 16 now!) I'm back up to my normal free space of 2 gigs...YAY! so... does anyone think I need a new hardrive? Fast? It makes Awful noises when it's on... I think it is going to crash and burn any second now, and I wanna know what would be the best hardrive... I don't need 80 gigs or anything, 20 would be fine, but what brand is best?(this may sound stupid, about hardrives) any advice would be good... :chomp:

i cant ever download anything without deleting something i have 50mb right now. so im getting a 200+gb soon

This is what I have and it has been working perfectly for the 3 days i've had it!

That looks cheaper than I expected :P I envy the 250 gb, And knowing my frivilosities of downloading MMOs... I'll see if I can't save enough money... I have a couple people who owe me LOTS of $, so... Yer... Although I might just build a PC from scratch and put that in there, because all of my hardware is from before 2000.:weird:

Why not get the Terabyte Harddrive?

I don't see the need and I don't have the cash... Although, I am planning on running an MMO which I am working on... But it would be small so no need for so much space.

If you get a bigger HDD, then you'll find that you needed the space all along. :p

If it sounds like it's about to rip itself to shreds, then don't risk it, and get a new one. If you say you don't need more than 20gb, then a 40gb should be fine.

Other than that, I don't really know much about Hard Drives.

One other thing you could do to free space is, if your computer is 'clean' - ie, no spyware, viruses, trojans, and what not - turn off System Restore (which will probably free a few gigs), the turn it back on:

Right click My Computer
> Properties
> System Restore Tab
> Put a tick in the "Turn off System Restore" box
> Apply everything
> Close the window
> Open it again, and take the tick out
> Apply everything

You might then want to make a restore point just in case something DOES go wrong, which is just Start > Programs > Accessories > System Tools > System Restore.

The problem with System Restore, is that viruses like to get in there, and the bloody thing takes up a few gig of space.

I say WHERE?!

Windows 98....

Is that zero in your backround?

=P Hell yes.

PERFORMANCE

Now that's hardcore... still running Win 98.

I'm going to have to dual-boot Win 3.1 now.
