Have this problem, my C drive is full and I have an empty D drive. Is there
a program that can move my C files to drive D.

Why can't you cut the files you want to move and paste them in D drive using
the OS?

complicated.

What files do you want to move? You can safely move your data files
wherever you want. No extra programs are needed.

Your question is too vague to answer.

I made the same question in a non english group and some one sended this
prog for XP
http://digilander.libero.it/rareware/coa2.zip the point is that some files
and prog are registred in a registration database, and if I move them it can
cause chaos in the OS.

It might be a good idea to do a copy/paste first, then verify that all
the relocated files are serviceable after being copy/pasted onto Drive
D? Then, if all goes well, you can delete the files from drive C: that
you've successfully copy/pasted onto drive D:

A cut/paste will delete the files from drive C: and if things happen
to go awry you could lose them.

I have a suspicion you're trying to confuse us.

Run Disk Management, for starters. In the Start box, you
can type "diskmgmt.msc" to get there. But there are other ways.

http://www.techfuels.com/attachments...-7-vista-2.jpg

In that picture, you can see the disk management window.
"Disk 0" corresponds to an entire hard drive. Visible in
the picture, you can see "SYSTEM RESERVED" and "C:". Those
are partitions on the disk. A disk can have multiple partitions.

If C: and D: appear on the same row, meaning they're partitions
on the same disk, you can "shrink D:" and "extend C:" to adjust
the space provided for each partition. The capabilities within
that tool are limited, and a proper partition management tool
may be able to do a more extreme job of re-balancing space
allocations.

By adjusting the partition size, you can give C: more room, and
then there is no need to try moving "Program Files" to the other
partition.

If you really need to free up space then just copy and paste the files
from C: to D:. Then include the D: files in your libraries as
appropriate and remove the C: files. Get use to thinking libraries now
Windows as finally got around to having them.
