Deleting a partition with Vista

Hi!

My husband has an Acer running Vista. It came with a pretty large C:/D: partition, and he's running out of room on his C: drive. We have figured out how to delete the drive using Vista's disk management tool. We thought there was nothing at all on the D: drive, but it turns out there are about .24GB of files, mostly seeming to pertain to Visual Studio 9.0 Beta, including several compressed files.

Can we safely delete these files, or at the very least, move them to the C: drive, or is something "pointing" to them where they are that will become all screwed up if we move them?

Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks.

 

My thoughts would be to move them to C:\, just so that they're not deleted. If a program looks for them there, you should have an option to change the locations.

Do you use Visual Studio 9.0 Beta? If you don't, then there's definitely nothing to worry about.

 

hi you will find that this drive holds all of your backup drivers in case your computer goe's wrong so i would back them up before attemping to erasing,
them,i recently formatted the hd with a windows 98 disk without backing any thing up and had loads of trouble
