I dont know a whole lot about computers, I purchase a new Vista from Dell. And i had a Windows XP from Dell. Anyways i transfered my files to my Vista But they all went to the D Drive.. Now it's telling me i have LOW DISK SPACE.

Hello Brenkor, welcome to PCHF.

It's simple. It's just a matter of going to those files via My Computer on your desktop, (D: ) Drive, and find the files you no longer need, right clicking on that file, and click on Delete. Does this help?

Are you sure that's where the files went? Use this tool to find the largest collections of files and used space on your PC: JAM Software - Windows Freeware

Unhappy Re: I need help

When i transfered the files, It went to the D Drive.
And it's already full.
But it does not let me open to make sure. I just got this computer and the disc space is
already full..Why else would it be full?
I dont know what else to do. I even tried to do a Restore from a certain date, And that did
not even work...

Brenkor, all the system restore does is return system settings and most important system files, nothing else.

Are you sure that the D Drive is not something else, such as your CD-Writer? In My Computer, right click on your (D: ) drive and go to Properties. Can you tell us what it says under "Type", "File System", "Free Space" and finally "Capacity"?
