Ok this is what frustates me about computers. I did exacltly as you described and still it doesn't work. I wasn't able to bring up both C and F disk at the same time. When I am on C it gives me the choice to move it to disk F. This is where I find the "Move Here". When I click on the F disk is still shows that nothing has been transferred. The numbers for the C disk and the F disk show the same "free space and total space" numbers. I would think that since I moved files from the C disk and moved them to the F disk that the values of each disk would show this but it doesn't. By the way my C disk has the file system NTFS and my F disk has file system FAT32. Does this mean anything? What am I doing wrong? From reading around it's very common that people add an external hard drive to free up space on there internal drive so why is this so hard? Need your input here. Again,Thanks for the help.

The FAT32 is an older file system that is limited in file size but the two systems can respond to each other. FAT32 has a 4GB maximum file size transfer limitation. You can reformat your external drive to NTFS. If you have no data on it this might be a good idea. Formatting will erase all data.

If you are moving small files the disk reporting might not be sensitive enough to adjust and or it might not register until you close/reopen the Manager.

Do you get any error when trying to Send To/Move Here? What exactly happens?

Also what happens when you go to My Computer > click C: (a window C:\ should open)?

Now go back to My Computer and click F: ~what happens?
