I must be honest and say it is impossible to advise you on how to go about formatting and parbreastioning without having the drive in front of me and knowing exactly what is what. There is always the danger of deleting data and I dread having to format and parbreastion my own drives, if there is a danger of losing data, even though I have done it many, many, times before.

I can only give you bits of general advice. For instance, you can copy My Documents over to the other parbreastion the same way as you copied the other folders. The only difference is you may have to change the name if there is already a My Documents folder on the other parbreastion. Simply call it My Documents X.

Also, you need to establish exactly what your parbreastions are, and you can do this by accessing the following folder.

Control Panel-Administrative Tools-Computer Management-Disk Management.

This will show you the hard drive and tell you whether the parbreastions are primary parbreastions, extended parbreastions or logical drives.

Just take things slowly and try and master one thing at a time. You will get there eventually. It would be much better if you had a spare hard drive that you could experiment with.
