Hi,
How can I tranfer existing files from my C: drive to an external drive I
just purchased. From now on I will direct my Media Center to save my files to
this new drive but how do I move the existing ones?

Thanks

Just cut and paste the files to the new drive. By default, Recorded TV is
stored in C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Recorded TV, if I recall
correctly. The use Media Center's "Settings" to change the location of the
Recorded TV folder.
