RAID 0? Just teasing, though it would work. You need to move things from

the full drive over to the empty drive is all it really takes. Keep the

operating system on one drive, and move My Documents (assuming you've put

all your data under it, which is what it's for) to the other drive by

clicking My Documents and then the Move button. Do NOT try to copy or just

make another folder on the other drive. You must use the MOVE feature

button!



HTH,
