Am not sure if this is the correct area for this enquiry, but if not would appreciate it being re directd. I need some tips on best way to move programs folders/files from one drive to other. I must explain that I have two hard drives. One is a 2gb drive partitioned into C & E drives. The C drive which contains my o/s w98se and is approx 1.75Gb, but only has 270 mb of useable space left so, am constantly being asked to remove some files from C Whilst the E has approx .25Gb which I use for little used files. I also have an 8gb drive D, with no partitions and of which approx 50% is in use with the balance free. Can someone suggest the simplest way to move programs /folders/files from C to D. I have tried opening both in separate explorer windows, and have tried dragging items from C to D. I have also tried Cut & Paste, but always seem to end up with a monumental cock-up with shortcuts not being recognised etc etc, and whilst the space used in D seems to increase, I don't appear to get a resultant decrease in C, so whilst I am getting them to move ok, I feel that I end up with duplicate files on both drives. I have been advised to buy Partition Magic but have no idea how Partition Magic works so would appreciate comments from those in the know
