it took me hours to finish setting up the new hard disk. first, i had problems placing it in the CPU case (i thought it was too big since it barely fits. i wasnt the one who installed the other hard disk, the 20 gig one). im using the 20 gig for the OS and downloads, while the 250 gig will serve as the real storage space. so, after screwing it all up (which was a problem since the hard disk did not come with any screws, so i had to use what i have, re-postioned the other screws i have available, like the example of the car with a flat tire with four screws missing), i found out that the file system used by the guy on the computer shop was NTFS. i asked the guy to make the partitions on the disk so all i have to do is install it. forgot that i prefer the FAT32 file system since NTFS causes compatibility problems. so, i had to download a disk director to re-format the file system. then after that, i removed and re-installed the softwares i have on the 20 gig, so all the 20 gig contains is the OS. this took hours. almost finished now. the only thing i have left to restore are the wallpapers and yahoo messenger. still have problems with drive C though. no matter how many files ive deleted, it seems that drive C isnt freeing any space. its supposed to be 50% full but according to its disk properties, its 75% full. would have reformatted the disk but i dont know how to set up the DSL connection (those goddamn bastards in Bayantel took weeks to install the DSL service!) . that's the only thing preventing me from reformatting the local disk.
