I have to format my C: drive and I would like to move 1 program to drive G:, I don't have the CD's to reinstall later;
Add-Remove doesn't give this option, and if it does, my windows is so corrupted (even with this) that I have to format.
Does some body know a way to do it?

a Windows OS here? If the 'program' is a software program. Rule of thumb- You can't. (Files are different, they can be safely moved, most of the time.) In Windows programs get 'embeded' into the OS, (think, a bowl of spaghetti here, that orderly) While sometimes done, (rarely) there's not a great success rate.

It does work fine for files. (there is an easier way BTW) but, I won't garuntee it will work with a program (it won't work if the program is running, or is in any way in the memory) at the worst, you'll just get a connection. (and that can be safely deleted)
