Question

Handling Drive space

May 3, 2012 2:08PM PDT

Hello - I have a G5 2.0 w/ 2 drives and want to upload a large music program which requires almost 200GB of space. The A-drive is about 3/4 full and the newer B-drive (500GB) is almost wide open.

When uploading these large programs, I'd always thought that they defaulted through the A-drive first and this would max out my A-drive as it stands.

-How would you handle this?

Thanks very much.

Other than you not actually having an A drive or B drive

as such,
you can install your program on either of them.

The installer should ask you which drive you want to install on. Just choose the one with the greater space and go from there.
If the installer does not ask, or gives you no choice, then you are stuck.
In that case, you could try moving data from the older drive onto the newer drive to make room for the new program
