Disk Space Question?

Question

I have a question and hope someone can help.  My daughter has the Dell Inspiron B130 notebook.  I just upgraded her memory to 2GB because I was having trouble installing The Sims Bon Voyage.  For some reason, I still can't install Disk 2.  I can do the first one but the second one just sits.  I did disk defrag today but I could only do C drive.  I need to do E drive because it is saying in properties that there is no space left.  How can I defrag drive E and if I can't, is there a way to install more space onto the hard drive?  I know The Sims games take up alot of space.  She already has The Sims 2, plus a few of the expansion packs so I'm guessing there's no room left.  I hope someone can help since the $75 I just spend in memory was useless.

Thank you!

There is a program called Gparted here is the link http://gparted.sourceforge.net/  It is a partitioning program. If C drive and E drive are actually one physical hard drive you can change the partition size of E drive by shrinking the C Drive and taking that space and adding it to the E drive.  If you have 2 physical hard drives in the laptop you will need to do add remove programs like old kid said. Before you try to use gparted make sure you BACKUP everything. good luck

You could go in and remove old programs you don't need any more through the add/remove program section in your control panel. But be sure it's something you might have added and no longer use and not some windows files.
