Hi
i set up 2 partitions on my hdd in xp pro. i have tried transferring user profiles across from my main "c" drive to the new data partition "d".
i wanted to transfer "my doc" as well as the desktop and, if possible things like IE favourites etc for each user.
In 1 case i moved "my docs" separately and then went to c\doc&setting\"fred" and moved that to D and intially it seemed fine
in another case [trying to see what worked] i just did it all in 1 go by moving c\docs&setting\"jane" to D and again initially it seemed to work fine and when i transferred between users all the settings seemed to have been moved across okay too.
BUT, when i reboot i find new entries in c\docs&settings for both fred and jane. fred's "my docs" is still mapped to the D drive but all other settings point back to the c drive and for jane there is a new " my docs" folder too in the c drive and on her desktop the my docs properties refers to the new folder and not the 1 that was moved across.
#1 could someone please give me a simple guide how to do this properly and explain what i am doing wrong.
#2 i assume there are things i have to keep on the c-drive to maintain the profiles so what can i move and what has to stay?
many thanks
