    Hard Drive Space running out. Wanting to move all files including programs over to new drive


    Hello, I have a secondary hard drive (HDD) D: drive and have my windows installed on the C: (SSD) drive. I'm wanting to move everything including my programs from the D drive onto a bigger drive. Could I simply copy the files over, and reassign the new drive letter as D: and have everything work normally? Thank you for the clarification

    Free hard drive backup/restore program?

    I am looking for a free (freeware) program that will back up and restore a hard drive. I'm looking to clone a few external hard drives. If the program will backup the used space instead of the whole drive this will be awesome! Thanks for any suggestions.

    Obviously you're looking for something besides your Xp Pro utility that does this?

    Stored files in Hard Drive

    I'd like to know if there's a way of listing all the files stored in my hardware and arrange them by size, because I want to keep track of what's on my hard drive. Thanks, I hope you answer.
