| 292862 | 2004-11-16 07:55:00 | Hello All, I am sure this question has been asked before, but please bear with me. Running XP Home, 60gb drive partitioned as "C" & "F", approx 30gb each. We want to move complete Folders (?) from C to F. For instance the Kodak Easy Share plus all the photos & data in contains.. What is the easiest & safest way. This will prove to be very simple I am sure, (when one knows how!!! ). Thanks PJ :8} |

| 292863 | 2004-11-16 08:00:00 | Umm if youre talking about the program files folder for it, I wouldnt do that, as it can confuse things a bit. Since most of the info would be in the registry. (which would most probab ly be pointing to C: And moving the whole program folder to another partition will stop it from working, I would say. Unless u changed every entry it has in the registry from C:program files/ whatever to f. I would copy the photos to f, then uninstall and reinstall the whole program to f. If the install will LET you install it to f. |

You could cut and paste too. Don't forget that any album or graphics programmes that are pointed at a particular image archive folder will need to be aquainted with the new location of the archive.

| 292865 | 2004-11-16 08:04:00 | Heck yes, Spacemanzz is right, don't go dragging and dropping programmes files just archives. It's better IMO to leave programme files on you OS drive anyway (usually C: ). Murray P |

| 292866 | 2004-11-16 08:10:00 | I hear what you are saying, but we DO need to free up space on C, whilst F is nearly empty. PJ | Poppa John (284) | ||
| 292867 | 2004-11-16 08:13:00 | Umm have u cleaned the temp files/garbage out of both partitions Poppa John? And emptied the recycle bin? These can fill hdd's up fast, if not done often. |

| 292868 | 2004-11-16 08:16:00 | If your system is running stable, try using Disk Cleanup >Advanced tab. Choose to delete all but the last System Restore point as this will create some more room (well at least for a while). | Jen C (20) | ||
| 292869 | 2004-11-16 08:25:00 | spacemanz...Jen C. All suggested clean-ups are done regularly. Any of you got a 2 partitioned drive? If so, how do you USE it ?? Is there anything at all that it would be safe to move there, to free up some space? Can photos be moved to F, but main programme left on C drive ? This would seem a bit clumsy to me, but Maryanne just wondered if it is possible. PJ |

| 292870 | 2004-11-16 08:33:00 | I use 2 separate hdd's but theyre bigger than 30 gb each (1 120 GB sata and 1 80 GB IDE). Partitioned into 4 partitions ( 92, 60,20,20 GB). I still have 170-180 GB spare to fill. And 19.5 GB spare on C: I use this mainly for video editing. Thats why I have 2 hdd's. You can move anything you want, to f BUT not program files on C. As this will totally stuff the program up. Other than that I would get another hdd (bigger than 60 GB, and add it as a slave). |

| 292871 | 2004-11-16 08:39:00 | Move all but programme and system/OS files. You can even move the My Documents folders off C and make any default save to locations off C as well. How big is your C drive? Murray P |
