it is not recomended moving programs from their location...


(they will probably stop working)





it is not recomended to install programs in a hard disc drive diferent from your systems harddrive...





I recomend you move you music FOLDERs(not programs, just the music, videos etc you have on your HD to the other HD)


and change the settings of your download programs to know the location of the new folder of your media...Am needing an intelligent computer builders advice?
Right-click ';My Documents';


Click ';Properties';


';Move'; it to the new drive.





All of the above applies, of course, only if you keep your iTunes and docs under ';My Documents';





Do not move ';Program Files'; folder, you'll break your Windows.
Good job on what you've done so far. Most of us use either multiple drives or have several hard drives partitioned for various uses. To move files, simple files, like music or video, is as easy as cut and paste. You know where those files or folders are, simply copy and paste them to the new drive.


Moving programs is different tho. The best thing to do is to uninstall and than reinstall them so that when you have the option of where to install, you can select your new location. For example, I have a large extra drive and I created several folders in it. One is for PC Games, another is for Programs and Applications, another for Torrent Downloads, etc. So maybe try making a folder for Music and another for Download Programs, etc.


The important thing is to make sure your download programs point to the new download storage location, ie, where stuff goes when you download it. For example if you were using Bearshare, it would currently be pointing to your download location as C:\Program Files\Bearshare\My Shared and you must make sure this is changed to your new file download location. Assuming your new drive is called ';D';, just make sure it points to D:\Music, or whatever you call it.


You will still see your installed programs on your start menu too, under Programs, regardless of which drive you install or reinstall them to.


Hope that helps!
