Moving files to new disk

[Guest]

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

Using Windows XP Home on a PC, I added a 160 Gig external hard drive
when I started editing movies on my 20 G internal hard drive. When I
try to Move files from C: to F: (the new drive) to create some space
on C: , I get the message:

Cannot Create or Replace (file). Cannot find specified file

C: is NTFS, and F: is FAT32. Dunno if this makes a difference. The
files I'm trying to move are readily accessible in C:. They are
mostly .jpg and .psd files.

Also, when I try to save .avi files on F:, I get an I/O error message.

Suggestions?

you have formatted the new drive? Can you access it in Windows Explorer and
does My Computer show the correct drive size?

The new disk is accessible and shows up in WE just as it should. I
did not format it. It's a plug-and-play Seagate external drive.
