Question On Vista's File Structure

[Twitch22]

Hello everyone.

Got a real basic question for you Windows experts: How does Windows handle things if I run out of space on one of my drive partitons?

For example: I am currently running Windows Vista Ultimate 64-bit. I have (2) Seaget 1-TB drives partitioned to 4 drives of 500-GB each. Using the standard User Folders under Vista (Documents, Videos, Music, Pictures, etc.) if I should fill that partiton with all my "stuff", what does Windows do next? Does it ask me to select a new destination for my files? Or does it automatically "assign" more space for the files, but keeps it tagged under the My Files folders?

Any answers, or suggestions to setting up an orderly way to keep your files organized among drives and partitions, would be greatly appreciated! :thumbsup:

It will will complain your disk is nearly full and prompt you to delete your temporary internet files and some other stuff.

Or suggest you store it somewhere else, such as on an external drive for data. The choices are yours, not Windows'.
