I want to increase the size of my C disk. I have
installed a new disk and it is working fine (currently
with drive letter E), but I have no idea how to move the
current contents of the C drive across to it. I presume
simply dragging and dropping isn't an option with the
operating system files, but I don't particularly fancy
reinstalling all of the programs I use. Is there a "move
operating system" utility that I haven't managed to find
hidden away somewhere? Any help greatly appreciated.
 
Yes, Maxtor and Western Digital and Seagate all have such
programs on their web pages if you didn't get a CD with a
retail drive.

Use Partition Magic or Ghost or Drive Image to copy entire partitions
to another disk.
