I added a drive

I'm not sure if this is the right users group for this but
it's worth a try. My hard drive is filling up so I just
added another one. When I go to save a spreadsheet or
database, I can't seem to get it to save on the new
drive. Should I reinstall MS Office 2000 on the new
drive? I'm running Windows 2000 Pro.

Thanks,
Dennis
 
Hi Dennis,

This is the wrong group: it's for questions about using Microsoft Access
databases with external data. However:

1) Does the new drive show up in Windows Explorer? If not, it's not
installed and set up correctly. Usually, a second hard drive will show
up as drive D:.

2) Again in Windows Explorer, can you create a new folder on the new
drive? Can you drag a file from the original drive (probably C:) to the
new one? If not, there's a setup problem, probably relating to
permissions on the new drive.

3) If you can create folders and copy files to the new drive, can you
save Word documents to it? i.e. is the problem only with spreadsheets
and databases?

I'm not sure if this is the right users group for this but
it's worth a try. My hard drive is filling up so I just
added another one. When I go to save a spreadsheet or
database, I can't seem to get it to save on the new
drive. Should I reinstall MS Office 2000 on the new
drive? I'm running Windows 2000 Pro.

Thanks,
