My computer has a 40G hard drive. It is split into (2) 20G drives, "C" & "D". I have only used "C" and it has only around 25% free space left. I was thinking of using the "D" drive for all of my Cad work. Is there an easy way to transfer files and programs from "C" to "D"? Also, I don't know if it makes a difference, but "C" is Fat32 and "D" is NTFS. I am running XP Pro.
Any info would be appreciated, Jim

Moving the files is as easy as just moving them. Moving the program would require a uninstall and reinstall.

You might also consider a utility to combine the two partitions into one.

Thanks, I will probably purchase a utility and combine the two.

Yep, one reason it is also called Partition Tragic ;)
