My Hard Drive Indicates It's Full and In The Red

  You may have noticed that your computer is running slower these days. So what could be the problem. What you will most likely find is that your hard drive is getting full. Okay so what can I do to correct this problem. You may be able to uninstall some programs or move some data to an external hard drive or large usb flash drive. This is usually not the answer to the problem. Basically you have just out grown your hard drive. You may get the message from your computer system that you are running out of space. I would open my computer and the full drive will be shown by a  red line.
   The best choice in this situation is to purchase a new hard drive with more available space . The best option is to buy a new hard drive with at least1 terabyte to 4 terabytes as long as your system can handle it. The cost of the 1 to 4 terabyte hard drives have come down in price and are getting cheaper all the time. I would suggest to go with a seagate or a western digital hard drive. My feeling the larger the hard drive the better, so you have more space for future programs. Make sure your desktop or laptop computer system can detect the larger hard drives such as a 3 or 4 terabyte hard drive.
    You are going to need a software program to clone your smaller older hard drive to your new larger hard drive that you will install in your current computer system. My suggestion is to purchase either Acronis or Nortons Ghost . You can find these programs from Amazon, Ebay or at your local computer store such as Office Max. I have worked with both of these software programs and choice is the acronis program. It recognizes the larger hard drives much easier and does a better job as far as I am concerned.
  There are going to be some choices as to performing the cloning. If you will be using the older hard drive in your current computer system as a second hard drive. Purchase a sata cable and a sata power cable if you have go from a molex connector to sata. Another choice is to install your older hard drive into an external enclosure. Then you will be able to use it as your back up hard drive depending if it is big enough. If your old hard drive is at least 500 gigabytes or larger you should have no problem.
   If you are not comfortable with doing the cloning have a friend or professional Computer Service Center do the cloning.
