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.

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.

Please add your comments below the greater than marks (>). It makes it
hard
to find the new comments.

I do not understand why or even how you managed to delete the files you
copied from the old location from the new location at the same time you
deleted the files at the old location.

The correct way is Open Windows Explorer. Navigate to the old location,
select the folder(s), and files you want to copy. Then on the Edit menu,
Copy (or you press Ctrl+C). Navigate to the new location, Edit menu,
Paste.
(or you press Ctrl+V).

That will make copies of the files. Be sure that where you go to delete
to
old files that you do not have to newly copied file selected, press
Delete.
That will move the deleted files into the Recycle bin (if there is enough
room).

If you use Cut, that copies the files to the new location and deletes
them
from the old location in the same action. It is safer to Copy then delete
after you have confirmed the files transferred OK.

Hello, Wallace,

English must not be your first language.

When you go to reply, go to the bottom of the message press the Enter key,
that will get you started at the first line after the message.

Press the Enter key to make paragraphs to make the message easier to read.
Break up long sentences into smaller sentences.

Sorry for the lesson in ethics. It is hard to understand what you are trying
to say.

I frankly do not know what happened, It is not something I have ever heard
of.

When you use the term "Microsoft media" do you mean Microsoft Media Center
Edition 2005?

If so, that is a part of the Operating System. It can not be moved. It can
only be destroyed.

I think you need to find a Computer Service Technician where you live.
You need to explain to that Technician exactly what you wish to do, let
him/her teach you what needs to be done.

And find a Technician that speaks your first language.
