Hi,

I have recently bought a new harddrive, and ideally I would like to set its
mount point to "C:\Documents and Settings". Previously I had done a similar
thing with "Program Files" by booting into Safe Mode, then copying the
contents of "Program Files" to the new hard drive, so I could delete it and
then set the mount point of the new drive appropriately.

However, when trying to do the same with "Documents and Settings" I get
told its a system directory and cannot be moved/renamed/copied. I tried
booting to Safe Mode with Command Prompt, but that didn't help either, nor
did going into the Recovery Console from the Win XP CD.

Is there any other way of doing this?

Thanks a lot,

Tom
