Ok, so when i was installing windows 7 RC, i formatted my HD to....have 64 GB for the OS, 100GB for D and 100GB for E, i think i made a mistake and dident relocate the remainder space....how can i redo it?

Also, how can i make my, lets say, drive E my main drive for all my programs, how can i move Program files from C: to E:? OR are they required to stay in C:. Also, in C:, i have two different program files, "Program Files" and "Program Files 86x", which makes me confused because i have the 64 bit version of windows 7...

Thanks!

OH, btw, where are my ATI drivers relocated to? I dont think firefox lets you put the area where you want your files to be put, my ATI driver disk dident work so i just went straight online to ati and downloaded the windows 7 drivers

I am not familiar with Win7, but in Vista you can add and adjust drive partitions in - surprise - Drive Management. You go to Start, Computer Manangement, and Drive Management. Vista should have something similar. By the way, this is the kind of basic how to question you should first try to look up yourself in the basic Windows help servivces. You will get a more detailed help and instruction there. That is what it is there for.

Now about programs. All your programs to the E drive? Never. The OS must always stay on the C drive. You can move other programs to a new drive- but why do you want to do this? First to move them you should uninstall on C and then reinstall on E since installation may affect OS files. If you just try to cut and paste, it may cause conflicts with references between the OS and programs.
