G73 Hard drives

I've never delt with dual hard drives before....Does anyone know of a website or something that can give me a run down or something? The OS C: partition (or whatever it's called) is only 116gb and I filled it up. I want all my games and such to go into the E part (300gb)

How does this work?!

Please help!

 

When installing games, just make sure you set the install drive from C: to E:

If the game installer does not have that option, then make sure you didn't miss the Custom install option instead of the Typical install option.

Thats it. I recommend installing to the other drive separate of the OS but thats just me.

If you got a system with only 1 drive then you probably do not have a 3rd option (it would be an empty 500G but read as 480ish or something) No 500 here to look at so I don't know the number exactly)

 

I have 2x 500gb. Why would you install the games on the other hard drive?

also, why is the hard drive broken up into 2x sections?

 

because you said you wanted all your games on the other hard drive lol

 

Also running the games off the OS driver = no performance loss if the OS drive is doing anything (I have all my apps and stuff running on it and my games on the other, same for my desktop. So no slowdown due to anything else needing harddrive access time besides the game.)

 

Some versions of the g73 came with the drives partitioned. If you don't have anything on the additional partition you can delete it and extend the C drive onto this now unused space, which will give you that single large c drive you desire.

You will need to get to the disk manager to do this. Since I'm on the road someone else who's in front of their pc can give you the details.

Edit: I remember now. Right click on computer and click manage. Once there select disk management. You will see the physical disk and all the logical partitions. Be careful in there and make sure you've backed up anything important like saved games or school/work docs.
