currently i have a 320 GB hard drive which is 75% full. this drive has Vista 64 Bit, FSX, a lot of add on programs for FSX, and a lot of music and video.  i have an old 160 GB drive from my old gateway that i want to use as a D drive in the DS computer i have now.  the old drive only has XP on it now, nothing else, as it was just reformatted before the computer died.  because i have a TON of extra add on's for FSX, i would like to put Vista on the D drive and wipe it off the C drive along with my music, videos and work stuff and just leave the FSX stuff on the C drive.  I would like any advice on the best way to do this.

Thanks,
Kyle

you can't.

I'm not that familiar with fsx but if it uses redkeys then you can't move it.

you would have to fresh install vista on the 160GB HDD and then install the 320GB as a new drive as D drive.

you can however install the 160GB as D drive and move music and media files over to it.
