Want to move applications to D:

Is there software that can move applications now in drive C: to another hard drive D:? I have been unsuccessful in doing an upgrade from Win. ME to XP Home. Microsoft Techs have been working problem via phone with no success, they are indicating a "full" installation may be necessary. This would require reinstallation of present applications on drive C:.

My computer is a Dell 4100, 384 MB RAM, with two hard drives with plenty of unused space. Drive C contains the OS and all applications, drive D has all files. I would like to move the applications from C to D, reformat C and install the full version of XP Home.

Are there applications that can do this?

 

what problems are you having when trying to upgrade?

 

get any error messages?
freezing?

 

Please read this "Thread" I sent a few days ago; the ony reply I received was "not to upgrade, do a full installation".

I have experienced failure in running both the XP Home Up Grade and the XP Upgrade Advisor. My present Win. ME seems to be working ok, however, the Upgrade Advisor stalls at "Processing System Files..... DVD Movie Player" each time I run it. No error message given, also no .txt report recorded. The XP Upgrade disk contains a similar tool, it stalls at the same exact location, no message, no report. When proceeding to install XP Upgrade it get to a point indicating about 75 minutes remaining and also stalls, no error message indicated. I have let the computer run in this stalled condition several times from one to up to three hours.
I have been on the phone with Microsoft Support for about two hours. They had me uninstall all CD burning software, Norton Antivirus, and remove all connections except the monitor, mouse, and keyboard. The exact problem remains. Another Microsoft tech was to call me back but has not so far. I do not want to reformat drive C, as a possible but drastic cure. My computer is a Dell 4100 with plenty of RAM. HELP PLEASE!
