Drive Partitions

suecoo66 · 07-27-2008, 01:46 PM

I've got 2 drives C and D, my C drive is almost full so I need to make use of my D drive. Is there an easy way of moving data to the D drive without reformatting? Also how can I get stuff to save to the D drive in the future

Right click on My Documents . . . select Move . . navigate to the location you want to use for data and when it asks if you want to move the data click yes

It will move all the docs in the folder to the new location and after that, any program that looks for data in My Documents will look to the new location

Thx for that Simpswr, I will try that and hopefully that will free some space on my drive!

Let us know how it comes out . .

Right clicked on Documents (as its now called) do not get the option of 'move'.
Any ideas?

I've also tried the drag n drop method but that seems to just want to copy 'documents' to my D drive, not actually move them.

Go to your Start Menu > right click on My Documents > Properties > Move
