Windows 7 - Moving Files & Folders to Different Drive

jmjsquared · 23. Aug 2013, 02:38 AM

I've had a hiccup in moving Personal Folders from C: to D: drive and am looking for "Best Practice" advice from those who know.

As a start, I "thought" I followed this TIP exactly but messed up somewhere:

Any advice or insight would be appreciated.

What exactly is the intent? It's unclear if you want to backup these files, relocate their destination folder so it defaults to another drive or something else? Yes I read the other posts.

Here is a good tutorial on the subject.

It worked for me. You may be able to shed light on where you went wrong by reading through it.

Thanks for the responses and advice. I did not see them until today, August 28th.

Actually, I solved my issues prior to starting this thread in an effort to get help for another TechSupport/Gizmo subscriber who, like I had, is still having issues with having tried to move a personal folder from one drive to another.im.

I'll direct him here. Perhaps it will be of use to him.

Thanks again and pardon my delay in replying.
