[QUOTE="Richard L, post: 1002333, member: 52972"] Spend a little time deleting files you know you don't need. Then follow that with a run of the Windows Disk Cleanup utility and let it clear all the Temp files and everything that's still in your Recycle Bin. Hopefully that will give you enough room to keep the system running until you get second hard drive...either internal or external. Then move all or most of your data files, photos, videos, and music to the secondary drive and just use you main drive for the operating system and software. Then, you can use a portion of the secondary drive to backup your main drive. I have a NAS with two, 1 TB hard drives setup as a RAID-1 system and the My Documents folder is mapped to the NAS drive. I also have a small USB toaster docking station for hard drives that allows me to just drop in any SATA hard drive with no other wire hookups necessary. I use 256 GB drive to back up my main "C" drive. I just recently bought a new Seagate 1 TB external USB 3.0 drive (only $59 at TigerDirect) that I will be using for my backups. ...Rich [/QUOTE]
