    D Drive

    is your laptop comes with 1TB hdd , is windows preinstalled in laptop ,

    drive E contains factoryrestore image ,, example customimage.wim file

    don't delete drive E

    another drive D is free for the data storage which is used by users ,

    open the drive D , and see an files are there or not ,

    if no file means , you can create new partition from shrinking some GBS from drive D

    Need Help Files Transfer

    I have a computer running Windows XP Home Edition. That computer has two internal HDDs:

    The 1st HDD is C:\ that running Windows. And it has 20GB total of capacity.
    The 2nd HDD is D:\ that is empty. And it has 90GB total of capacity.

    The C:\ drive is almost run out of space (full). Is there a way I can transfer everything in the C:\ drive to the D:\ drive and begin to use the D:\ drive from there on as primary drive?
    Can the Windows Files Transfer feature in XP transfer everything I have in C:\ to D:\? If it cannot, then which way can I use to perform the above step?

    Thank you.
