      PC help need.
      Sep 23, 2008 05:33:31 pm
      My PC is running out of hard drive.

      The PC runs OK, so I think all I need is a bigger hard drive, does anybody know how to change a hard drive, I live in the Walton area Liverpool.

      Can You Help, Many Thanks.

      Get an external hard drive and transfer all your photos/music/videos etc on to that.

      Much simpler option.

      500Gb MyBook External USB

      Emtpy the recycle bin, do the disk cleanup etc.  A hard drive won't just lose Gigabytes.  If something goes wrong with a sector of the hard disk then your computer just won't work.

      Check these folders:

      C:\Documents and Settings\$username\Local Settings\Temp
      C:\WINDOWS\Temp

      Where $username = your username.

      Check for each user if you have more than one.

      Not the folders but you can delete the files inside them to free up some space.These are temporary folders which usually contain old driver files, old setup files for some applications you installed etc.

      I want to thank you all for trying to help me, but one thing you don't know about me, I'm THICK when it comes to my PC, mind you Mobile phones as well.

      I used to have a mate who would come down and sort my PC out, and do my upgrades if and when I needed it.
      I used to pay him, and I trusted him, but sorry to say he moved, he got a good job in some PC company down south.

      What I'm looking for is someone to look after my PC and my laptop, I know there are many people in adverts in papers and things like that, But I don't know them, so I don't trust them.

      If someone from this site could recommend someone, I think that is a better way.

      Thank you all again.

      Graham what you need mate is somebody to knock you up a new PC.

      Like this fella did.

      That's how you know it's a quality PC!

      Apparently it is a sh*t hot machine from what I gather.

      For a kick off that's a blu-ray drive at the bottom.

      :D No way!

      You'd think if they could afford a Blu-ray drive then a cover and a few fittings wouldn't be much of a problem! :D

      Maybe he can't get a case big enough or maybe he can't fit all the cooling fans in? 

      I think that machine does about 125 work units a day on the Folding at Home project.  A PS3 can do 3.

      It reminds me of that scene in Superman III where the woman gets dragged into a big computer and comes out a weird looking droid!
