asked on

windows 8 and SSD

I bought a new computer with an SSD drive and a 2 TB drive.

Over the phone, the techs had me setup the SSD drive and install the OS on the SSD drive. Then they got on screenshare and setup the rest of the computer for the printer etc.

Then I realized that the 2 TB drive was never setup.

Meanwhile, my OS and program files and all my User directory files are on the SSD drive. I did go into disk management and created a D drive for the 2 TB drive.

However, I CANNOT copy over my Users directory with all my files on it. It keeps erroring when I try to copy it to the D drive.

Now what? Can this be fixed? Or should I start over? If so, what do I do to ensure my SSD is for the OS but my 2TB  is for  the User files? Or does it matter? Should I just move what I can out of the user directory and keep the unmoveable stuff there?

thanks!

Bob,
you wrote: "I created D: drive."
 Did you format it too ? If yes, formatted to NTFS?
