C/D Hardrive

Haze1414 · 07-01-2009, 03:45 PM

Ok I just recently bought a new laptop from MSI and it came with two local disks. A C and D drive, the program files and new programs which I install are placed on the C drive which is 40 gigs while the D drive is sitting on 250 gigs. What I wanna know is how can I transfer my program files off my C drive onto my D drive?Without crashing my new laptop? And yes they are both Local disk hardrives. Can anyone help me please? Thank you.

Yo woul dprobably have to reinstall them to the D drive so the registry entries are correct for where files are located. Data you can just copy over.

Ok, well is there something or someway that will determine where I can program those files to go before I install them? Or before the setup wizard asks me where to put the files. Because some files/programs/games automatically install on the C drive and dont ask me where to put them.
