There really is no easy way to move programs from your C drive to your E drive. A person could copy them to new locations, but the program is likely to fail. It's best to make sure to choose the drive one wants the program installed on to avoid this problem
If you have two explorer windows open, one for the c drive and one for the e drive, just highlight all the files you want to transfer and drag them over the the e drive window.
Because you're a dumb freaking idiot.
You open two My Computer windows and make them small. Next, you go to your c drive in one to where the file is. In the other one go to the e drive where you want to copy the file to. click the file and hold down the left mouse button. Drag the file to your other window and drop it in the e drive.
You'll probably have to re-install all of your programs onto the new hard-drive in order for it to run on it. You can't just click and drag all that stuff to the new one because of the hidden files every program puts into various places on your computer. For instance the executable files for lets say a computer game like SPORE could be in your (for instance) C:\\ hard-drive and you try to move the game files for SPORE to your new (for instance) E:\\ hard-drive. The game will not run because it is trying to access the executable files on your C:\\ drive but the application files are on the E:\\ drive.
You could try moving your page file ~2M depending on memory usage or you hibernate file to the E drive. Otherwise you'll need to move "documents folder" to the E drive. You can try tweakui but I'm uncertain if it works on Vista.
Your hard disk has two partitions C & D that is why your cd/dvd drive has E.
E, DD, CC.. D, F/ A,C,E, DD,C,A,C,(C,A,C, slightly faster) D,E/ A,C,E,D,D.. E,C/ E,DD,C,A,C.. DE
Both letters are for Hard Disk drive because one hard disc is compartmentalized and these are named C drive, D drive & E Drive etc.
Go to Computer Management, choose Disk Management. Right click on the CDROM Drive (D:\) and change it to G:\. Then Right click on the Hard Drive (E:\) and change the drive letter to D:. Two inherent problems exist: 1. Any shortcuts pointing to E: will now point nowhere and will now be broken. 2. Any programs installed on E: or programs that use E: for temporary space (Photoshop cache files, Video Editing, etc.) will no longer exist, since the drive has moved and E: no longer exists. Use with caution. PowerQuest Partition Magic has a tool that maps shortcuts and registry entries back to the drive's new drive letter, but Symantec has purchased PowerQuest and I no longer know if this tool is available.
Well, the c drive is usually the first hard disk drive (hard drive for short) in your computer, with d, e, and f being additional hard drives, or at least spaces that if used all at once would lead to an f drive. As for the a and b drives, they are reserved for floppy disk drives, or floppies for short. The C drive is what came with your computer. It is the default drive where all of your system info, & programs. The D drive could be a "partition" which is still on the C drive, but set up as a separate drive. The CD-ROM is usually labeled as the D drive. The F drive could be a memory stick(or other storage media) that is in a USB port. Drives D, E, F, G, and so on could also be additional hard drives that have been installed on your computer.
Drives D and E usually refers to CD/DVD drives. Put the source disk in drive d and the destination disk into drive 3, then copy from d to e.
Most of the time it is "C" the next drive letter in line would be "E" If you recently reformatted a single hard drive it will be "C" if you have another already formatted hard drive in your computer or you have a second partition it would be "E" So, unless you changed it, it is going to be "C".
