On my laptop I have two 60 gig internal hard drives installed ( C+D drive), the C drive is now almost full, but I can't figure out how to use the other drive (D)

Can anyone explain how I use this drive , even if it's only for transferring files from the C drive so as to free up space

Many Thanks

    In Windows Explorer, what does right-clicking on the drive tell you?

    just save or move stuff to it. using copy and paste, or if Vista, merge the partitions
