Answer» Hello,new to the forum. I have a Sony Vaio desktop that is about 7yrs. old. It came with a C drive VOLUME/D drive volume ratio of about 1 to 4. Now that I've accumulated quite a bit of info, the C drive has about 19% available space,while the D drive hardly has a dent in it. I *always* save everything to the D drive, however there always seems to be items that save to the C drive(my docs,program files being the most prevalent)which build up over time. Is it possible to move the target location of things like program file to the D drive,or would a partitioning program help? THANKS DanNormally on laptops the D: drive is reserved for the restore partition... Post more details on the capacity and used space on C: and D: and we'll go from there...Patio, thanks for the reply. Here's some info: Sony Vaio PCV-RX650(PURCHASED new in '02) WINDOWS XP OS C-drive capacity.........14.9GB Used........11.8GB Free..........3.04GB D-drive capacity.........59.6GB Used........5.87GB Free..........53.7GB I've cleared about all I can off the C-drive(including most of the factory installed crap) and always save to the D-drive. I run Diskeeper automatically. Thanks for any help!!

If you use My Documents folder to keep files in, you can move the whole folder to D drive. To do this, right click on My Documents to open the Properties panel. Click on the Move button, select D:\ or a folder on D:\ as the destination and proceed. This will also move the My Music and My Pictures folders, since they are normally under My Documents.
