Hello fellow gamers, Quick question.. So i have an asus g73 laptop and Iv filled 1 of the drives labled "OS".. How do I get the 2nd drive thats 500Gb to kick over and start working??? It shows up and everything. I can even drag items onto it. But Say I try to install something new, It tells me Not enough disc space. Im pretty sure it's just one HD, just partioned into 2. anyhelp would be great.. Thanks!

If you want to install something on the second HDD (or partition) you would need to specify the path the program is to be installed at. Quick example: you put in a DVD, installation window pops up, you click on Agree and or next and eventually you'll come to a window that asks for the installation path OR it may ask for a "Standard" or "Advanced" install. You want to go to Advanced and designate a path. For this game we could say your 2nd HDD is named D:\ so we'd set the path for example to be "D:\Games\MyNewGame" That will tell the computer to download and install all files to the other HDD. If you are just picking default/standard for installing a program it will default to your main HDD or partition. Which is probably why you're getting the message of of "not enough disc space".
