| Re: odd drag and drop program Hello, This is normal. By default, when dragging and dropping files from one partition to another (or from one medium to another), the file is copied, not moved. You need to keep hold of shift on the keyboard when dragging and dropping files and folders, in order to move them between partitions. To my knowledge, I don't think there is a tweak available to change the copy operation to a move operation, but if anyone knows of one  .
