    SO i have a G74 with a C: drive that is almost full and i have a D drive with nothing on it that has 250 gig. My concern is when my C drive is full will applications start over flowing onto the D drive or what happens?! When i install program it never lets me choose were i want it to install thats why my C drive is almost full. Is there a way to connect the two?

    You can't switch installed program like this , else your registry will get mad. some will works , some won't.

    And every single program on earth ask you where to install , it's just that you never pay attention to it.

    Windows will become extremely slow and will probably crash.
    Name me ONE program that does that.
    You could delete the D: partition or make it smaller and add its space to the C:.

    So basically what you guys are saying I can Install stuff on the D drive without there being an issue of it running improperly? Or I can extend the C drive into the space on the D drive?
