The other day I put a new hard drive in my computer.  It joined the old
drive as the master and is now the D drive.  I intended it to be for
programs.  The C drive to remain the boot drive, with programs moved to the
new drive.  (E drive is data, F drive is games.)  During the installation I
copied the old (C drive only) drive to the new.  Many of the programs will
have to be uninstalled from C and reinstalled on D, or moved with an
uninstaller.  Whatever works.  I'm working on that.

The question I have has to do with Windows.  I have a Windows folder on the
D drive, since I copied the entire C drive.  I want to get rid of
D:\Windows.  I'm sure the machine is booting from C, and that D:\Windows is
extraneous.  My thought was to rename D:\Window and see if all went
well.  Then, if there is no apparent problem, simply delete it.  Can anyone
see anything wrong with this procedure?
