SBS 2008 Move Data Wizard crashing. Moving Exchange & Sharepoint data- NTFS/diskspace

Hi

We have a server that is running low on space on the C: drive. I've just attempted to run the move data wizard to move the Exchange data to the D: drive and I am getting an error window up that says:
Data Store is not movable as no NTFS drives are available or the available drives don't have enough disk space
This server has only NTFS drives (2 partitions on one RAID5 array) and the amount of free space on the D: drive exceeds the entire capacity of the C: drive.

There is also a removable hard disk connected that is used by Symantec's Backup Exec. Backup Exec has exclusive use of this drive which has no mapping.

There are 2 network drives mapped. 1 is local and one is a NAS box.

Trying to move the Sharepoint data in the same way throws up the same error. Trying to move user data, whether shared or redirected folders throws up a totally different error that I will list in a different question unless anyone thinks it could be relevaant, in which case I can post it in the comments below.

Thanks in advance for your help!

Let's start simple. Have you checked in disk manager or via the command line to ensure the d: drive is indeed an NTFS partition? If it is FAT or another partition type, the move wizard will fail.

Yes, D: is NTFS as reported by disk manager.

Jeez. Wish I'd looked more closely before posting now! Had a load of different movedata errors on a few different servers and I'm becoming blind to the obvious!

Thanks for spotting that, and sorry for wasting time!
