Problems with new hardrive

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.hardware (More info?)

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?

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.
