I've never seen a computer where My Documents wasn't on the system partition. I think that's a Windows default. Maybe you can adjust specific programs like Word, Excel, whatever to save docs to a different drive/partition. But I don't know how you'd do it. So, maybe making the system partition bigger is your best option. Is this your music computer? If so, you're going to want your stuff that's not on the system drive to be on a separate physical drive. Partitions don't matter where this stuff is concerned because the same physical media is spinning, assuming you don't have solid state drives, to get what you want. Bryan, feel free to correct me if I'm wrong.

I've just bought a new system with a 2 terabyte hard disc. It is currently partitioned so that 60GB is held for Programms etc and the rest is for data and files. For some reason it has been set up so that the regular documents and settings, my documents, my music etc is on the C drive with the operating system and programmes, and the larger partition is simply acting like a blank disc. How can I either... 1. Set up the hard drive so that documents and settings etc are on the larger partition. Or... 2. Resize the partition so that the C drive has more space. Any other ideas would be really appreciated. If it makes a difference, it is running Windows 7 64 byt.
