Thanx for this OICURMT, interestingly I happened to find these windows of Permissions, users, full control last night, it helped move/delete some OP system files on the old hard-drive, but not all, , I will go through this link of yours in more detail later tonight and try deleting more that wont move the way im doing it (y)
In saying that, I may need to move photos I want to keep on the old drive to the external drive in smaller amounts as-well, - going to be a laborious and time consuming task, that for sure - but am getting there slowly
