Hold Ctrl and push Print Screen (next to the F12 Key)...

Open up a paint...And hit Ctrl V...

Save and then upload it to photobucket or some other hosting service...

It can take a hour or so at times...My guess is that it has not been done in a very very long time and you prolly have alot of fragments on your computer...

You might have to do it a couple time to get it all good...

The Hottness used to be filled with porn but now it is only like 10 gigs of porn and the rest is programs...I have not accessed the pron side of the drive in over a year...I should prolly jsut delete it...Now it is filled with programs that I have "found" and save for when I need them...I keep them in a seperate drive from the operating system becuase just in case there is something embedded in them that I dont find then it wont destroy my computer...It will jsut corrupt that drive and I can wipe/replace easily...

The media disc is about 55 gigs of music, pictures, and car videos...

Oh I can imagine...Tony I might need to help you out with a professional defrag program if that wont take care of it...

He will be fine...It will run in the background...

Yeah it is running while i am on the web and it is fine...It is at 3 bars now so it is progressing...I saw how you (chris) had three programs, the hottness, C:, and something else...I just had the (C thing

I deleted most of my porn,mustang videos, etc,...the stuff i dont watch...I saved a few of my favorites from both categories! I think this deleting has really given me some free space...I will holler back when this defrag is complete. I guess a good restart when it is done would be good too.

Thats because I ahve 3 hard-drives in my computer...(I dont have any external ones hooked up)...You only have 1 drive on your computer so that is why you only see the C drive...

You will notice a nice gain in performance...

a regular cd tony!!!! burning data is different from burning music

see, ur comp burns it as data, in other words, files

ur comp can open them up when u put the cd back in cuz it can read the data, but a regular cd player reads music, not files.. so it wont work

see?

when it says 700MB/80Minutes thats cuz it can hold 700MB of data.. u can put anything on it.. its a storage device.. take ur programs that u dled and burn them to data.. take anything u wanna keep and burn it to data.. then re-format ur comp.. which sucks cuz u gotta start all over
