    I'm trying to install a piece of software on my machine. My C: drive is quite full so I now tend to install things on a second hard drive, F:. The installation software seems to think there is only 406MB available on this drive despite there really being over 100GB free. Any ideas why this might be? I know some files often still get installed on C: but there's 4GB available on this. Cheers.

    What are the capacities of both the C: and F: drives?

    You need to partition your F drive, you can use the Windows XP Setup program or get something like Partition Manager.
