How do i change my harddisk letter or share harddisks?

ok, so i have 2 harddrives



a windows (C:) drive of 100gb (pre installed)

and a Western Digital (D:) of 1 TB



now the problem is that i've run out of memory on the windows (C:) drive,



is there a possible way that i could change my secondary Western Digital drive into the (C:) and the windows drive into the primary drive,

so that when i download certain things it will store automaticly on the western digital instead of the full windows drive and stores virtual memory on the Western digital, or is there a way so i can combine these 2 hardisks and make them share files. Now i really can't do anything because i have no space to store memory on, and i dont know how to make my pc put files and virtual memory automaticly on my 1TB Harddisk!How do i change my harddisk letter or share harddisks?
To download and store files on the bigger drive all you have to do is change to the bigger drives D letter when asked where to save to. You can also drag and drop files from your C drive to your D drive to free up space on C.How do i change my harddisk letter or share harddisks?
You can't change the default drive from memory, the way we do it is back up your computer completely on an Xternal HDD, reformat your computer using the Windows install and create seperate partitions, if you do not know how to do this, please let me no :)
Use DriveImage XML to do a disc to disc transfer from the C drive to the D drive. Swap the data cables on the 2 drives to make the 1TB drive the boot drive.
THIS METHOD IS NOT RECOMMENDED FOR EXTERNAL HD





you can either take more space to c from d or combine them together , but 1st option is more safe .



right click on my computer , then manage , disk management , right click on d then shrink volume , take the space you want , then ok or apply , then restart pc .



after restarting go to disk management described above and right click on c then choose extend volume then take all that space which you previously taken from d .



that's it .
Is the Western Digital internal or is it a USB drive?



You can move your swap space to a different drive in the Advances System Properties, but if your drive is external, then this is not recommended. It will be super slow and may cause you trouble if the external is not on when you want to use your computer.
