Additional hard drive

I am hosting my own website, running win2k3. I want to add another
hard drive . How can I transfer my website to the new hard drive (D:),
knowing Inetpub is on C: drive?

Just cut and paste the current website to D:\ drive. Point your web home
directory to the new location.

The following will not matter if you are just hosting your own website
internally and will not upload from an external location:

Best to use a path something like D:\Upload\Yoursite.com with permissions on
Upload greater than Yoursite.com.

Full permissions for Admin on Upload
Read/Write Permissions on Yoursite.com

The answer completely depends on your website.

How would you transfer your website from C:\inetpub to C:
\AnotherDirectory?

The question really isn't about a new hard drive. It is about how your
website supports migration, and that is really dependent on how the
website is written.

If the website supports migrate from C:\inetpub to C:\myDirectory,
then you can make one configuration change in IIS (or NTFS) and the
website moves with no hassles.

If you really cannot move your website, you will have to use something
like NTFS junction points to mount your new hard drive at C:\inetpub,
which allows you to store your website on the new hard drive but you
access the content as C:\inetpub
