I would like to add my two cent's worth to what Peter said.

It has been a while since I installed iTunes, but I believe that when you 
install it, it asks for the name of the folder where your music will be 
kept.  It likely suggests the "default" value of MyMusic on the C: drive. 
On my somewhat older version of iTunes if you go to 
Edit/Preferences/Advanced, you will see the name of the folder where your 
music is kept, and you can change that name to that of a folder on your new 
hard drive.  Then, when you download or rip stuff using iTunes, you send it 
to that new folder with much greater capacity.

The problem is that you will want your old stuff moved to that new folder, 
too.  I don't know if you can just do a copy, or if you have to do an 
export.  I think that a simple copy should work.  The following is what you 
probably need to do:

copy C:\Documents and Settings\(your name)\My Documents\My 
Music\iTunes\iTunes Music   to   F:\My Music\iTunes\iTunes Music

and make the latter folder your default iTunes place.  This might work, or 
you might have to experiment a bit.

HTH,

Hi everyone!  I joined this group because the computer lady recommended it, 
hopefully I'll learn something!

  I recently got a 60gig video ipod (wonderful toy, btw).  my problem is 
that my pc, a dell running xp, only had 40 gigs, so the ipod was larger than 
my pc.

  hubby installed a 200 gig internal hard drive as drive F.  Now, do I need 
to move my itunes and music onto F, and if so, how do i do that?  or, will 
the stuff i download/rip just automatically go onto the f drive when c is 
full?  I keep getting the message that my hard drive is almost full, so this 
event is imminent.

  any advice would be appreciated.
