Does anyone here knows if I can move the Documents and Settings folder of Windows XP tu another partition (for example: D:\Document and Settings), and How do I make Windows recognize the folder is there? Thanks

Do you want to move the whole folder, or just the My Documents folder? If you just want to move the My Documents folder, just right click the My Documents on your desktop - choose Properties. Then click move, and put it where you want to.
