General problem I need more space on my disk.
◆Run a hard disk space check (DriveSpace) to find out exactly how much space you have. For more information, see page 48.
◆You can defragment your disk. That is, you can rearrange your current files so that they are packed in together and any little storage spaces between them are removed to make empty space on the disk. Results will vary. For more information, see page 48.

◆Before you turn on the computer, remove any CD from the drive, so that the computer won’t have to spend time checking it.
◆You don’t have to wait for the virus scan each time. Press the spacebar to skip the scan. (Don’t skip it all of the time; you should run a virus scan occasionally.)
◆Your disk may need to be defragmented. See page 48.
