Çouple of issues, have a Dell Vostro 460 , i-5 2400gz 6mb Memory with original 360GB drive, and an added 2TB internal backup. I believe the 360GB drive is partitioned as when booting up i have 2 Windows 7 options to choose from. All the files on the 2nd Windows 7 option are older 2011-2013, while the upper or first option the files are newer (2013 to now). As I am down to 24mb left on the 360GB main drive I am deleting programs and files (and emptying the recycle bin), like crazy, and the files and programs do disappear, but I cannot gain any space on the drive!
One odd thing (to me anyhow) is that if i chose the upper windows 7 option the C drive is the 360GB, (full) but if I choose the lower Win 7 option, it is called the D drive and the 2TB drive is the C drive . I did buy a new 1 TB drive to replace the 360 GB, anyone have any recommendations on what software or how best to mirror that 360MB drive onto the new larger drive?
Other issues possibly complicating things; one of the drives constantly seeking. It only does this on about 1 of 4 boot ups. It has had for a year a grr,,, gerr,,, gerr sort of sound. could easily unplug the larger drive and reboot multiple times and will but have not.
Quite often lately on boot it gives me an error; No Drive Detected, cntrl alt del to retry.
The obvious but boring answer is;, buy a new computer. Kinda prefer other answers if anyone has a thought? Thanks.
