it's very simple. all you do is insert the disk into your computer. is it a CD or a floppy? if it's a CD, you pull up the file you wish to save and click on Save As. this should pull up a menu. you want to change the top part to say drive D or E disc instead of documents or whatever it's under right now. you do the dame thing with a floppy except you select the A drive.

You could do as suggested with Disk Utility as well.  Try making it into a Sparce Image.

put disk in drive and if the folder hasnt automatically opened up, go to my computer and double click on X (x being the CD drive) Drag the files or folder onto the desktop and save it where you want on your PC from there...I recommend that you get yourself a USB flash drive, it's as easy to use as a floppy disk yet more reliable...

you can get bootdisk at www.bootdisk.com\nas for the rest, you might have it ( 98 ) allready on the computer in a reserve directory as some computer manufactuers save it on ther rather than giving you the disk

Using a program such as Partition Magic you can accomplish your goal. Bad news though, Many times people lose all their data when attempting to do what you are talking about.  Partition Magic if used correctly will not do that.  Using this program if you are not computer saavy could be a disaster.  A computer shop should be able to do it for you at a cost of 25 to 50 dollars.\n\nPerhaps you should just tranfer most of your files and programs to the D: drive.\n\nHave a Great Day

Just plug in your external hard drive, and start My Computer.  If the hard drive is properly formatted and partitioned, then it should show the drive with a new letter on the same place you will see your "C" drive.\n\nIf it does not show up then you will have to initialise the disk and format the disk for you to begin using it.\n\nAssuming everything is fine, simply drag and drop files into the new drive.  It maybe sensible to create folder and organise your data.\n\nSimply, right click on one of the files/mp3 etc and choose Open or to be more specific choose Open with and select the appropriate program.\n\nAlso before powering down your external hard drive or your computer, remember to disconnect the external drive safely on Windows.  On the System Tray, where your time shows on the bottom right hand corner.  There is an icon if you hover the mouse over it says "Remove Safely" or "Remove Hardware Safely".  Click on this and it will display the devices that are currntly connected.  Click on the entry related to the external hard drive.  If you do not do this, the hard drive can get corrupted.\n\nI lost about 40Gb worth of data by not doing this in a moment of madness.\n\nHope this is helpful.

Go to "my computer" and there you should see your internal one (C:) and all others, could be E:, F:, G: depending on if you have memory cards and such (D: is usually CD/DVD drive)\n\nOpen the external one, and drag your files there.  I hope external drive is hooked up to USB of your computer or whatever you are using.

Important If you follow these steps on a hard disk that is not empty, all the data on that hard disk is permanently deleted. We recommend that you back up your hard disk before you follow these steps.\n\nTo partition and format your hard disk by using the Windows XP Setup program: 1. Insert the Windows XP CD-ROM into your CD-ROM drive or DVD-ROM drive, or insert the first Windows XP Setup disk into the floppy disk drive, and then restart the computer.\n\nNote To start your computer from the Windows XP CD-ROM (or from the startup disk), your computer must be configured to start from the CD-ROM drive, the DVD-ROM drive, or the floppy disk drive. In some cases, you may have to modify your computer's BIOS settings to set this configuration. For information about how to configure your computer to start from the CD-ROM drive, the DVD-ROM drive, or the floppy disk drive, see the documentation that is included with your computer, or contact the computer manufacturer. \n2. If you are starting the computer from the Windows XP CD-ROM, select any options that are required to start the computer from the CD-ROM drive if you are prompted to do this.\n\nNote If your hard disk controller requires a third-party original equipment manufacturer (OEM) driver, press F6 to specify the driver.\n\nFor more information about how to use F6 to supply a third-party OEM device driver while the Windows Setup program is running, click the following article number to view the article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base: \n314859 (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/314859/) Limited OEM driver support is available with F6 during Windows XP Setup \nIf you are starting from the Windows XP Setup disks, insert each of the additional disks when you are prompted, and then press ENTER to continue after you insert each disk. \n3. At the Welcome to Setup page, press ENTER. \n4. \nNote If you are using the Setup disks (6 bootable disks), the setup will prompt you to instert the Windows XP CD.  \n5. Press F8 to accept the Windows XP Licensing Agreement. \n6. If an existing Windows XP installation is detected, you are prompted to repair it. To bypass the repair, press ESC. \n7. All the existing partitions and the unpartitioned spaces are listed for each physical hard disk. Use the ARROW keys to select the partition or the unpartitioned space where you want to create a new partition. Press D to delete an existing partition, or press C to create a new partition by using unpartitioned space. If you press D to delete an existing partition, you must then press L (or press ENTER, and then press L if it is the System partition) to confirm that you want to delete the partition. Repeat this step for each of the existing partitions that you want to use for the new partition. When all the partitions are deleted, select the remaining unpartitioned space, and then press C to create the new partition.\n\nNote If you want to create a partition where one or more partitions already exist, you must first delete the existing partition or partitions, and then create the new partition. \n8. Type the size in megabytes (MB) that you want to use for the new partition, and then press ENTER, or just press ENTER to create the partition with the maximum size. \n9. Repeat Steps 4 and 5 to create additional partitions if you want them. \n10. If you want to install Windows XP, use the ARROW keys to select the partition where you want to install Windows XP, and then press ENTER. If you do not want to format the partition and install Windows XP, press F3 two times to quit the Windows Setup program, and then do not follow the remaining steps. In this case, you must use a different utility to format the partition. \n11. Select the format option that you want to use for the partition, and then press ENTER. You have the following options: • Format the partition by using the NTFS file system (Quick) \n• Format the partition by using the FAT file system (Quick) \n• Format the partition by using the NTFS file

Put the disk in the drive. Go to "my computer" and open, Then right click on the DVD drive and click copy or save. You'll save it to a folder in "my documents" or "my movies" probably. Youcan always name a folder "My DVD".\n\nGood luck
