Ok see if I understand what you want to do.

You have an old hard drive that is too small to hold all your music files.
So you bought a 500 GB hard drive and want to transfer your music to the new
hard drive.

What I do not understand is why you want to transfer your Operating System
to the new drive.

In the first place you can not do that without special software or to
reinstall the OS and programs.

You can however keep your old hard drive and just add the new drive into the
computer.
You can then store your music files on the much larger drive and still run
your system as before.

The new drive would show another drive letter in My Computer and Windows
Explorer,
MCE can be configured to use the new drive for recorded TV and Videos. It is
just change a setting in MCE.

drive it also
delete the music on the new drive so how do I reinstall Windows media
center
on the new drive I need step by step instructions thank you thank you

you thank you

Not really sure what you are asking, do you want to put the OS (Window
Media
Center) on the new drive? If so, you need to reinstall it to that drive.

If you just want to transfer your music to the new drive, just cut and
paste, or safer, copy it first, make sure it's all there and playable,
then
delete it.
