I have an XP machine and I previously had a 20 Gig hard drive which was
filling up. I added a new 160 Gig external hard drive. I transfered all of
my old files and pictures to the new harddrive and it seemed to be okay but I
cant delete the stuff off of the older hard drive. I try and delete it but
it doesnt work. ANy suggestions?
 
Do you have the correct "rights" to delete those files from the older drive?
 
You will not be able to delete the System Folders 'My Documents', 'My
Pictures'. You can 'move' them to the d Drive.

Right click on the My Documents folder and use the 'Move' button to relocate
that folder to the D Drive. Doing the same for other folders [and their
contents] will achieve your desired result.
