    I bought an m9750 about a year and a half ago. I have a 64gb Solid State drive, and a 200gb 7600 RPM drive. My 64gb is pretty much full, and it's essentially all from iTunes music/videos. I want to do two things:

    -transfer all my music to my 200gb drive
    -make my 200gb the default for iTunes

    I was in contact with Alienware support and it was quite an ordeal getting in contact with the right person, he was less than helpful even with the seemingly awesome "AlienContact" software. (they can see your screen and control your mouse)

    Any help is greatly appreciated, thanks. :)

    I did the first part. Can you be more specific as to how I have to drag my itunes files to that location?

    The itunes folder is in your my music. So move it to wherever you changed your settings to.

    Whenever I try to send an individual song to the other hard drive it says "there is not enough memory to perform this operation".

    Your drive is very full eh? Delete your temp files on the SSD - use something like JKDefrag http://www.emro.nl/freeware/download.html and it will clean up the extras on your SSD. That should help immensely. Then transfer songs, etc.

    you can just try to "cut out" (strg + x) some small things from your ssd to and pase (strg + v) them on the 200gb HDD ... this could also help without so mutch "work" :d
