Changing system from one disk to another

[Frank]

I originally had a 15 GB hard drive. I recently added an
80 GB drive. I'm constantly having "drive full" messages
about the C drive and virtual memory allocations.

I would like to made the larger disk the system drive but
don't know how to go about it,(if it can be done).

Thanks for any and all assistance.

To the best of my knowledge there is no way to do that. 15GB is plenty big
for your OS. What you might do is uninstall as many programs as you can and
reinstall them to the larger drive. Also you can redirect your "My
Documents" folder to that drive and have it copy all of you Documents, Music
and Pictures to that drive.

Another trick you can use it to go to the Control Panel and select System
Properties and navigate to the System Restore tab. Under settings you can
reduce the amount of disk space used for restore points.

Let me know if any of this helps. Ed

Documents and Settings tells me it has 11.4GB. I moved it
all to the big drive and redirected Documents and
Settings to the big drive. Now it tells me that Documents
and Settings on the small drive still has 11.4GB.
