Life Burner

before i have even have a chance to test out “how to store/load wii games via USB HDD” the guy that wrote the article has already created a new, up to date version for the 4.0 menu upgrade that came out recently for the Wii, here’s the New updated guite with links to all you need.

There seems to be a lot of steps, and would probably need to be done on a rainy day, with plenty of coffee!

I assume, once this delicate tutorial has been completed, one could easily download game backups elsewhere, and run them straight from the external HDD without having to burn it to DVD..

Now, there are many ways to freeing up space on your hard drive, and this is just a bunch of method’s combined work well, Best with Microsoft Os’s is to use the built in software first, then finish the job with some free 3rd party apps, im gonna focus this on four applications, get a cuppa and lets begin!

I recently covered how vista’s shrink hard drive volume is crap (resizing partitions on hard drives), I had about 30GB free on my hard drive and it was only letting me shrink up to 75MB, I kinda fixed this by defragging my computer, it took about 9 hours, but then again i haven’t don’t this, ever? 
One thing i wasn’t expecting from defragging, was it to clean up disk space, and somehow 30GB managed to appear from nowhere, i was amazed!

So Here we go, first we want to go through manually, and delete all the old rubbish that we have accumulated over the years, old music we don’t listen to, old trailers to moves, old pod-casts on Itunes, un-installing games we haven’t played in years, also if you have steam you can un-install a game, and re-install it at any time on any PC, if you play online games, Like Counter-strike: source, you download gigabytes of maps, music, skins and extras, you can clean this up (steam games only) with steam cleaner.
While your at it, Organize your documents, put things into folders, and backup things you really need, and would be gutted if you lost, pictures, documents, creative pieces etc etc. 

Steps, Programmes and Downloads after the jump.

Ccleaner; also known as crap cleaner, does exactly what it say’s on the tin, it deletes all that unused junk that accumulates in the hidden back end of your computer system, its the best, safest completely free cleanup software available for windows.

from internet explorer, windows explorer, system files, Firefox, many many other applications, multimedia, internet, utilities and the operating system itself, cleaning that unused junk from all this software frees up hundreds of megabytes of data on your HDD.

This temporary data is usually created from a mash up of all these programs and utilities, just running, performing updates downloading whatever, but it all adds up to clogging your system up.

Now, i have been using Ccleaner for well over two years now, There are tonnes of reasons that i still love it for one; its so easy and quick to use, you can right click on your recycle bin and there’s a link to the program! in a couple of seconds you can load the program and run it! seconds later that’s everything cleared “just like that”, i normally do this once every two weeks to keep things tidy, and it really does make a difference in your system, the first time a ran this program cleared a whopping 2gb crap off my system, i was dead chuffed.
