move program files folder to 2nd hd drv

My experience has been that this is a very time consuming and sometimes futile effort. The biggest problem is modifying the registry to reflect the move. You are better off to uninstall and reinstall the applications onto your larger drive. Hope this helps

If your request is due to games, your save games can easily just be copied onto the larger drive after an uninstall from 1.9/install to 30.0. As the person above stated to try and move things by hand may take you more years than you want to move it. There's always the option, back up the 30.0 gig drive, reofrmat it and load the operating system on the 30.0 gig and then attach the 1.9 gig drive as the non-booting slave.
Good luck

Assuming you have used NTFS file systems: You could move the contents of "Program Files" into a new folder on the larger hard drive and then create a symbolic link so that "C:\Program Files" (for example) points to "NEWDRIVE:\New Program Files Folder". To create the symbolic link you can use the Junction utility from www.sysinternals.com

Partion Magic will do this
