drive is nearly full but 2nd half is 18gigs free

479807 2006-08-21 04:39:00 Yes, you certainly can move personal data files from one partition to the other but NOT files in the Program Files folder or program installation files elsewhere .

By personal data files I mean those you have created yourself including emails, photos, movies, music, letters, etc etc .

I would suggest that you copy all the files to the new partition then when you are satisfied all is well you can delete them from the other drive .
