Drag-and-drop between partitions.

This is basically my first time using partitions, but it
seems that when a file is dragged from one to another, a
copy of that file is made rather than the file itself
being moved. Is there any way to change this so that
dragging files between partitions simple moves them (in
the same way as dragging them between different folders
on the same partition)? Thanks.
 
Try this: Right-click on the file and drag it to wherever you wish it to go.
Now release the right mouse button and you'll see a context menu asking
whether you wish to copy, move or create a shortcut to the file.

This is normal operating procedure - as dragging a file on the same
disk/partition is a move of the file, dragging to a different
drive/partition is a copy of the file.
