Hello,
I was wondering if someone knew how i can use both of my hard drives for storage. my primary C drive is only 6 GB and my D drive is 8 GB and Pretty much empty. i have been trying to drag programs folders into the D drive by hand but some wont let me drag and i am not even sure this is a safe procedure. i have asked for help on here before but i never got a straight answer. Also the wait time for the replies is kind of slow, so if anyone has AIM would it be possible to talk on there. i will be logged on here and AIM and my SN is THEDEFAULTMAN.
Thanks.
