Addition of free space from Hard disk 2 to Hard disk 1

Question

I have two hard disks of 20Gb and 10Gb. My 20Gb hard disk is my C drive which contains the OS and my 10Gb Hard disk is my D drive which is empty.

I want to add my free space of disk 2 to disk 1. I saw many articles on Google but they aren't clear.

Answer 1

I had a similar situation once, and solved it by moving user profiles from C to D. Those directories contained a lot of files so this made sense.

Say your user account is called U, and another (admin) account is called A.

• Log in as A
• Move U's profile (C:\Users\U) to your D: drive, let's say D:\Users\U
• Create a symbolic link from C:\Users\U to D:\Users\U
• Repeat for other users, if necessary
• Log in as U.

Note: Both drives need to be formatted as NTFS for this to work. If one is FAT32, you can convert it to NTFS using the convert.exe tool.
