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/attachment...6-resize-partition-free-windows-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.

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.

You can safely move your data files anywhere you want, using simple
cut-and-past and/or drag-and-drop techniques. It is dangerous or
impossible to move program and system files.

The simpler method would be to use the xcopy command at the CommandIt might be a good idea to do a copy/paste first, then verify that all

Prompt. It can copy and remove files or it can just copy the files onto
another drive retaining the folder structure on the original drive.
After a successful Xcopy operation without deletion of the original
files, the folders (together with the files therein) can be easily
deleted and provide fodder for the Recycle Bin which can be emptied at
will.
Naturally you will have to use the relevant parameters with the xcopy
command to do exactly what you want it to do. But it works a treat and
you can copy tens of thousands of files more or less in a jiffy unless
they are HD movies or Encyclopedias the size of Britannica! But a minute
or two will suffice for normal user files; even thousands of them! I
know because I have been using this to save my user files to the second
Internal HD as well as an External HD. No need for software and if you
are foolhardy you can even put a parameter in to delete the copied files
in the same operation. Just study the xcopy parameters and create a
command. I save mine in a MS Word file and just copy and paste the
command to the black Command Prompt window.

another drive or folder. If you try the "Drag and Drop" method the file
is merely copied to the other drive unless it is moved to a different
folder on the same drive.

webpage from one folder to another - you can't do it easily without
losing the association between the main webpage folder and subfolders
containing graphics, etc. If you try to move the webpage file, you are
prompted to reopen the whole webpage in a browser and save the whole lot
in another location.
Maybe the OP has a programme which somehow locks all its files - even
the data ones - into a folder (or drive) in which they were first created.
I'm also a bit suspicious about him having an empty D: drive. Does he
have permission to write to it (knowing Win7's way of locking things
down so even the only admin user can't get access!). He also hasn't said
how big his D: drive is. If it's only a few Mb, I'm not surprised he
can't write anything on it. It would be interested to see if can copy
anything to an empty 2Gb memory stick; there shouldn't be any
permissions problems there.
