My new laptops hard drive partitioning setup question.
I just got a new Dell Inspiron laptop. On this laptop the OS(C:) has only 6GB on it. The Local Disk (D:) has about 400GB available. I am used to having most of the hard drives memory on the C:. Can someone explain to me the practical use of this? When I save for example pictures to my pictures folder it takes up space on the C: portion of my drive. My understanding is that if I save my pictures or documents to the D: portion I would only be able to access them by going to the Local D:. This is not really a problem I just don't understand the reasoning behind it. It seams to throw a wrench into the design of the OS by diverting my files to a different partition. I mean now there is no purpose for the pictures, documents, videos, music folders in the start menu. Is there a way to give the C: back most of the memory from the D:? Please give me your feedback I might just be overseeing something.

zomb13s,
It appears by the attached thread you are not along. I know this is not the answer to you ? but may give you some insight. It appears a complete reinstall of the OS and all software may be in order however unpopular..
