    Default Hard drive space

    One of my laptops is down to just 275mb of disc space left and I'm not sure what to do.

    I have a couple of externals that could be used, although it is something else to plug in and I prefer using the internal one.

    I could buy a 100Gb internal drive, but that'll involved re-installing windows and having the hassle of unlicensing PCDJ and re-installing everything.

    Any suggestions?

    Well, you could try uninstalling programs you don't use, clear the cache (:teeth, empty all temp files folders etc

    buy a bigger laptop (2.5") HD, image your current on off on your network and then install the new drive and image it back, you will not have to install anything then it will just allow you to use the additional disck space ... plus you can have a spare incase that new one goes at a gig

    I tried to image a drive before, it went horribly wrong, ended up just using the traditional method (wipe and install)
