Move Documents and setting on other partition

[JUSTICE]

Hello,
I'm looking for a software that can move "Documents and Settings" on other partitions from C:? I know the manual method of copy and pasting but it is long and heavy!
I want install my Pc with c: window and E: Program files and F: Documents and Settings, as if I crash by format c:

thank you for your response

Hello, saving "program files" on another partition is useless, as all software installed is going in windows \ system32 or registry database. The easiest way is to make an image with DriveImage and to boot a live CD PE Builder. 20 minutes to reinstall everything: lol:

Couple of options come to mind:

1) Get PartionMagic and resize the partitions to the sizes you want
2) use mountvol.exe to have c:\program files map to a separate partition, off of the C drive.
3) use mountvol.exe to have c:\documents and settings map to a separate partition, off of the C drive.

#1 is easiest. Options 2 and 3 have other advantages. For example, you can reduce the C drive to mostly just the OS. then take a drive image of C: and if the machine ever becomes unstable, restore C only and your (existing) programs and documents are uneffected. Also, if C is mostly just the OS, then there isn't as much 'churn' on the OS drive and that results in less defrag requirement to keep the system running fast.

If you want to use option 2 and 3, you'll need 'robocopy.exe' and boot into 'command prompt only' mode through F8, so you can copy the files to another partition without access violations.

Let me know if this isn't enough detail and I'll elaborate.
