    I have an acer 5720z and it has two hard drives but, the problem is that it is only storing information on the first one and that space is running out fast!!! My computer is telling me that I am running out of space but I have another 69 gigs free on my other hard drive!

    Would be able to just make a "new folder" and maybe store all my music in it and just put all that on the other hard drive?

    thanks in advance! ;)

    I hope you realize that you have to tell the computer where to place files every time you save or install something. Otherwise, it will just be placed into the default directory ( C: ). Your computer can't read your mind. It doesn't know to put files on your second HDD if you don't tell it to.
