You should back up your data first, as mentioned already.
Then, you set the partitions (volume name and sizes) as you are installing the software, I would think. Just do a clean install. After the install is done, bring in your "D" drive stuff.
You will need to install all of your drivers, etc..

Thanks to you all, and yes, I know that I should back up to an external disk, but I don't have one to hand, hence my question !!!

Get a thumb drive. A stone tablet, something.
In this day and age, there is no excuse good enough for not having something to back up on. My opinion. Not trying to be harsh.

As it happens, I needn't have worried !!!
First, the data that needed backing up fitted easily onto a pen drive I have and second, all of the data is backed up anyway !!!
Thank you for all your comments and efforts though ... and you are all right, I should be more prepared !!!

Badly, I suspect...
Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...

At the rate he's posting jibberish (even by lounge standards), I'd agree.

Ugh! I remember attending a Victor Borge show in Pretoria some 40 years ago. Thanks for reminding me of my advanced age! And today happens to be my birthday!

Done. And done.

Two points. First, there are 10 million users. It may take you a while telling them all as they don't all visit the lounge.
Secondly, if an article deserves being closed, it will be closed. If you plagiarize, for instance, we will close it.

We would like to encourage you to take a look around at other articles on the site. CodeProject articles have a certain layout to follow, so that users can learn the most from them. Each article attempts to answer the following questions: What problem does this solution solve? How does this help someone else? How does the code actually work? What is going on inside the code snippets?
Here is a submission from a first time author who did a terrific job, just to give you a basic overview of what a beginner article might looks like:
http://www.codeproject.com/Articles/37642/Avoiding-InvokeRequired
You can take a look at our article FAQ here:
http://www.codeproject.com/KB/FAQs/ArticleFAQ.aspx
For tips on writing articles, please see this article:
http://www.codeproject.com/KB/mentor/whatisagoodarticle.aspx
You can also see our submission guidelines here:
http://www.codeproject.com/info/submit.aspx
Unfortunately just having some code itself, without an explanation of what it does or how it works, will not teach a reader as much with it. And while we appreciate a promise that you will update an article later, or in your next article you will try to explain your code and its purpose more, we do our best to ensure all articles teach our readers as much as possible. Our primary goal here is to help other developers learn and become better developers, not necessarily just give them some code they might need (though that is nice too).
Please let me know if you have further questions.
Thanks,
Sean Ewington

He doesn't seem to have noticed yet that javascript commands don't work in lounge posts, so I'm not holding out much for his articles...
