I have Sony VAIO computer with an 80GB partitioned drive. I am planing to
install an other 200GB hard drive. That will be the E drive. I would like to
move everithing from D to E. My operating system (Windows XP home edition )
is on C. After I moved everithing from D to E I want to delet D drive, and I
would like to have E to be come D. Any suggestions?
This is easy. Install your new 200Gb hard drive (set jumper to slave) and
then boot up. Go into Start, Settings, Control Panel, Administrative Tools,
Computer Management and Disk Manager. You will see your new hard drive and
right click on it and make it into whatever partition you want (or full if
you are using the full 200Gb). Format it using NTFS (Don't do a quick
format).
When done, Windows will assign a drive letter - simply right click on the
drive and select "Change Drive Letter" when you want to do this. Of course,
to be safe if it assigns the drive letter "E" to your new drive, go into My
Computer, Open up drive D: and press Control and A to select everything
(ensure you are viewing all files including hidden). Then click on Edit,
and Move Files to E: drive. When all is done, then simply go back into
Computer Manager, Disk Manager and change drive letters around.
Reboot!
