How do I access/use the D: Drive?

[Guest]

I have a relatively new (<1 year old) Sony Vaio using Windows XP. It came
new with a C: drive of about 14GB space and a D: drive with about 92GB of
space. Everything that loads either from CD or download from the internet is
placed on the C: drive. Consequently, the C: drive is now almost full (522MB
remaining) and the D: drive still has 92GB of space.

How to I access and/or move files from the C: drive to the D: drive? Can I
just drag and drop, or will that result in mapping issues?

I have tried to download the SP2, and cannot install because of no room left
on the C: drive.

Thank you,
Micsher

If it is your files taking up space (files you created) - simply MOVE them
to the D drive.
If it is applications, then you should uninstall the application, reinstall
and CHOOSE to install on the D drive this time.

You get a choice when you are downloading and when you install things..
Choose D more often.

92 "Gigabytes" on the D drive? Why so much on the secondary? If you have
that much space you can definitely use it. You could move all your music
files, data, etc that takes up space. If you want to move programs to the D
drive you would have to uninstall them from C and reinstall them to D.

I have a second drive and I drag and drop files to it.

Drag and Drop will work fine.
