Assuming the C: and D: drives are literally two separate drives, the obvious answer is to move the Documents folder to the D: drive. It won't affect the ability of the system to do its job, and in a case like this will open up space necessary for swap files and such. If it's ONE physical drive with partitions, I would back everything up to an external source (500 GB drives are silly cheap these days), format the C: drive and remove the partition so that it's all one drive again. Both of these are relatively simple tasks (the latter being considerably more tedious), if you need help don't hesitate to ask.

Well, it's on my laptop so I would assume it's just one drive with partitions, I'm not sure though (like I said, I know next to nothing about computers). If that is the case, how would I remove the partition?

I'm heavily tempted to say "find your favorite tech-savvy friend and beg for help", if only because they will be able to *explain* it far better than I ever could. But, if that's not a useful option.... ^_ ( ... )

Wouldn't a simple scandisk be better than that extreme? Something is corrupted or he she has bad blocks on a dying hard drive?

A scandisk can repair some of the issues and if it is bad blocks it will come up as a much smaller partition size after she reboots?
