It depends on what you actually want to accomplish. I would assume that what you really are asking is how to have the "My Documents" on the other drive. That's not difficult. Go to your My Documents Icon either on the desktop or in the startup menu, right click on it and select properties. Click on move and then click on all documents, select the drive and folder where you want it to be and then select OK. If it asks you if you want to move all documents, say yes to move what you presently have stored to the new location. Each person that logs on to your computer will have to do the same thing if you want them to use that drive also. This is exactly what I have always done so that all my data is on a separate drive from the system drive.
Now if you want to move sll of the "Documents and Settings"(folder) to another drive, I wouldn't suggest doing it since the system expects it to be on the system drive. There may be a way around that, but it would certainly require changes to the system registry which I wouldn't suggest unless you really know what you are doing.
