-- Posted by jumbo55 at 11:49 am on Aug. 8, 2008 so ive got 2 120 GB hardrives. and the 1st one (drive C) is almost full. so my question is, how do i move things to the second harddrive (drive D)? i thought it would be nice if i had a whole drive just to my music, so that way the other drive would be empty enough for all my other apps and such. is there a way to move things like that? or what should i do? -- Posted by reev at 11:49 am on Aug. 8, 2008 drag and drop. -- Posted by Imokim at 11:50 am on Aug. 8, 2008 you need to install the new hard drive, then transer the files onto it, no other way.  Th enew hard drive will be exactly like the c drive in My computer :D  just named something like F drive lol -- Posted by jumbo55 at 11:51 am on Aug. 8, 2008 Quote: from Imokim at 2:50 pm on Aug. 8, 2008 you need to install the new hard drive, then transer the files onto it, no other way.

Then you can update your media library :). For WMP it might be simpler to just delete the whole library then scan the new hard drive for the music. (All the Tags will be there still (name for files) as they are stored onto the files). -- Posted by jumbo55 at 11:55 am on Aug. 8, 2008 Quote: from Byble at 2:53 pm on Aug. 8, 2008 if you wanna move some programs from C to D just go into program files on C and cut them into D   and like.. when u install new stuff.. change where it saves.. change the C to D i tried drap and drop, and cut and paste, but if fucked up the app, which i had to uninstall. maybe i did it wrong, but now im all scurred. -- Posted by espresso8097 at 12:03 pm on Aug. 8, 2008 Quote: from jumbo55 at 1:55 pm on Aug. 8, 2008 Quote: from Byble at 2:53 pm on Aug. 8, 2008 if you wanna move some programs from C to D    just go into program files on C and cut them into D      and like.. when u install new stuff.. change where it saves.. change the C to D i tried drap and drop, and cut and paste, but if fucked up the app, which i had to uninstall. maybe i did it wrong, but now im all scurred. Dragging and dropping does not work for program files, it works for files like movies of music.  The operating system installed programs to Program Files and the computer configured it to work in that one place (although changing the location can be done if the target .exe in the shortcuts is altered). -- Posted by Byble at 12:07 pm on Aug. 8, 2008 Quote: from espresso8097 at 8:03 pm on Aug. 8, 2008 Quote: from jumbo55 at 1:55 pm on Aug. 8, 2008 Quote: from Byble at 2:53 pm on Aug. 8, 2008 if you wanna move some programs from C to D   just go into program files on C and cut them into D       and like.. when u install new stuff.. change where it saves.. change the C to D    i tried drap and drop, and cut and paste, but if fucked up the app, which i had to uninstall. maybe i did it wrong, but now im all scurred.
