I did replace the hard drive ( 250 GB) with a 320GB on my HP desk top XP I have 3 partitions on it C: D: and F: C: drive is almost full and has only 24.5 MB of free space..... My question is: how do I move files, folders or programs to partition F:? Thanks
 
Hi.

Don't move programs after they are installet, it most likely ends up not working. Instead, install programs to another partition to save space on C disc.

Pictures and documents that is not a part of a program's setup-folder should be safe to move. I'll recomend using Teracopy because it does check so files doesn't get corrupted after moving.
 
Hi there jcc732,

I would also say that it would be best to reinstall the apps and just drag and drop data(pics, music, etc.)
Apart from that, you can free up some space on your C: drive. You can adjust your system restore options, run disk cleanup, etc. Here's a guide on how to do that: http://www.howtogeek.com/125923/7-ways-to-free-up-hard-disk-space-on-windows/
