How to Move a Folder From Your C to Your D Drive in Windows Vista
The ability to cut and paste files or folders from the Windows Vista operating system is just one example of the freedom that Vista offers its users. This file movement can be particularly useful when your computer has multiple hard drives or multiple hard drive partitions, and one drive or partition is nearly full. By moving a large folder from your primary hard drive (typically the C drive) to a secondary drive (such as your D drive), you can create more free space on the primary drive without deleting any files.

Tips & Warnings
Some folders on your C drive shouldn't be moved to another drive, such as your "Program Files" folder or any other folders containing installation information. Moving these folders can cause instability in the programs associated with them and even prevent a program from running.
