Vista - Want games on second hard drive.

Want games on second hard drive.

I have a few questions and all answers would be greatly appreciated.

I just got a laptop that said it came with 200 gb RAM. I look and see it is split into 2 88gb hard drives? This was a little confusing to me as to how programs were located and run, if they are not on the main hard drive, for example in the Program Files folder, as there are no folders on the second hard drive.

I installed a few games, but they have been installed on the main hard drive. I want them on the other hard drive because, if I'm correct, Vista runs on the main hard drive?

How can I get them onto the other hard drive? Is it as simple as cut and paste? Cut from the main hard drive and paste in the new hard drive? Would the games still run, or would their location not be found? Please help!

It is one hard drive with two partitions. Very common. Install them to D:, if its your second hard drive partition. You have to remove and reinstall them and change the drive letter.
