I just added a second hard drive and want to move key
files from the C drive to the new hard drive. Not sure
how to proceed.

Can the Documents and Settings folder on the C drive be
moved to my new drive? Can I move only the My Documents
folder and its associated files to the new drive?

Appreciate your comments
 
Russ,

To move My Documents is real simple:
- Open My Computer, choose Folders in Toolbar.
- Right-mouse click on My Documents, you will find the "Target folder
location" in the Target tab. Change it to the new location. Now choose Move
and it will automagically move the entire folder tree to the new location.
- Don't forget to go into each application (e.g. Word, Excel, etc.) and go
to Tools, Options and usually General tab will allow you to specify the new
location for all documents that you create.
