lillyluna23 Posted June 15, 2016 Share Posted June 15, 2016 Hi! Can someone give me some advice please as I'm a bit stuck in what to do.....I currently have fs9 installed on my d-drive and as I've just gone to open fs9,a pop came up saying that my d drive was full. I haven't had my desktop for long and it's quite annoying to think that it's already full. How can i free up some space? Regards John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lillyluna23 Posted June 15, 2016 Author Share Posted June 15, 2016 I've also just noticed that my fs9 is on my d drive and everything that I've bought or downloaded is on my c drive. So how does that make my d drive so full???? Confused!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drobson Posted June 15, 2016 Share Posted June 15, 2016 With most new computers, the system information/OS, is stored on your D drive, which is a partition of your hard drive. I'm guessing that you've installed things to the D drive by mistake, and should have simply been installed to the C drive. Just my thought.

mrzippy Posted June 15, 2016 Share Posted June 15, 2016 Just curious....is D drive a separate HDD or is it just a partition of the C drive? Maybe not enough room allocated to the D drive. Good timing Darrell! Still thinking about a new flightsim only computer! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lillyluna23 Posted June 15, 2016 Author Share Posted June 15, 2016 Thank you for your replies,having checked the drives the fs9 is on the day drive and my downloads are all on c!? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jgf Posted June 15, 2016 Share Posted June 15, 2016 On most "off the shelf" systems the past few years the D drive is a recovery partition containing a compressed copy of the default OS as a backup (not to be confused with system restore points you create). You should not install anything on it even though there is typically 5-6gig empty space there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bambo22 Posted June 16, 2016 Share Posted June 16, 2016 How big is the Drive you installed FS9 on? What other files besides FS9 are inside the drive? FS9 is not a huge program, but if your drive size is like 500mb then you`ll have issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lillyluna23 Posted June 20, 2016 Author Share Posted June 20, 2016 it says the size of the drive is 629mb and the only things thats in there is a few folders relating to fs9. to be precise the folders that are in the d drive are : Compact,Complet,Scenery ,Autorun,Setup, and STUB which shows that as the application. And each folder doesn't seem to have many folders inside the main folders!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lillyluna23 Posted June 20, 2016 Author Share Posted June 20, 2016 yes I'm sure there is mrzippy.and obviously it's becoming a problem. But what i don't get is why is fs9 saved onto the d drive then having checked all my downloads,add-ons etc it all states that they are in c drive. So how come my d drive is full??

Those files sound like you copied the contents of your FS9 discs as opposed to installing the program. ??? peace, the Bean WWOD---What Would Opa Do? Farewell, my freind (sp) Never argue with idiots.

lillyluna23 Posted June 20, 2016 Author Share Posted June 20, 2016 Right ok,what would you suggest I do? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StringBean Posted June 20, 2016 Share Posted June 20, 2016 Has FS9 ever run on this computer? What you are telling us you have on the D:\ drive are indeed files from the install discs and are not part of a working copy of FS9. At this point, knowing what little I do about what you actually have on your PC, a proper install sounds like the course of action. peace, the Bean WWOD---What Would Opa Do?
