I'm beginning to think that my 9GB is not something I can work with past September, but then there may be people who run entire businesses on 5GB - don't laugh, its highly possible.
Out of curiousity, how much HDD (Hard Disk Drive) Space does your Computer have?

right now I have 5 hdd's on mine for a total of 1,650 gigabytes. That is way more than what most people need I use 500 gigs strictly for storage space. 250 Gigs is used to to run XP and a bunch of games I put on for the grand kids. The other 900 gigs is used for various periphial stuff. I have all kinds of junk on it for saving radio/TV broadcasts etc, I have a lot of wireless stuff set up so I can net work with mydaughters PC.
I don't get out much so the PC is pretty much my window on the world. I also have a lot of books saved on it, Which are Mostly audio and visual Qur'ans, Hadeeth, Arabic Language courses, So although the HDD space seems too high, I will probably have to add a few more drives. I only have enough space left for 3 more internal drives, but have plenty of room for external ones. I do have 3 external USB HDD drives, One is just a total back up of my operating system and major programs.
And just outta curiousity Akhee.. Where D'you check to see this!!??
Here's a Pictorial Step-by-Step:
NOTE: Don't mind the Pic Quality, I downsized the quality BitMap to upload it - I run WindowsXP, not Windows 95...
..........and THEN:

I think you have unsightly and imperial plans on that computer of yours. I just hope the world is aware of your intentions...
"This world is a blank price tag, and whatever value you put on it, is what its worth to you. I have made this world priceless and worthless, so therefore I have placed my value in the afterlife."
...I dole out advice and I get left in the dust with my 9GB...

I'm thinking this is going to turn into a contest...well, just to make sure no one makes fun of me or my 9GB...Iqram only has 12GB...

dahir wat sort of graphics do u hav on ur comp? hav u cranked up ur vga settings in the display options?
No...my graphics are normal, they just looked like trash when I posted them because I changed the BitMap settings so I could upload them properly.

Here is a screen shot of what happens when I click on my computer. Instead of showing the 5 fixed drives seperatly, take my word they add up to 1,650 gigs. The array I have them in the first 3 drives are in a RAID configuration and work in tandem with eachother and act like a single SATA drive with 900 gigs. The 2 WD drives Slaves one is 500 gigs the other is 250 gigs. So it acts like a 3 drive SATA with one 900 gig master and the 2 sloves. Below is the removable drives that I currently have hooked up. I can add up to a total of 234 external drives by piggy backing the USB2 ports.
I shouldn't run out of space for at least a week .
I lost the quality on the screen shot when I shrunk it. I should have left it in the bitmap format. My error
I just checked, and I have 145 GB total- 129 Free.

Now for the Irony. I'm in an area where High speed internet Isn't available. so my poor dial up speed is a max of 56 kbs, but quite often it is 28 and sometimes down to 14. I have enough space to hold the Congressional library and it takes me a week to down load a smilie gif. I might have a bigger PC, but you sure can surf the web faster than I can.
I only have 9GB, you sadistic _______ <----fill in the blanks...ffended:

I feel happy now, but not that happy - Alpha gets fast internet and a huge HDD.

For internet usage Alpha is in much better shape than I am in. Fortunatly I need most of my space for off line stuff other wise it would be a waste. But, when we finaly do get high speed, watch out world.
