    I just reinstalled Vista on my computer with two partitions: one for the OS and one for the rest.
    I want to know how I can move the user folder from the OS partition to my other partition??

    just move all of the folders in your user folder to the new target. pictures, downloads, etc.. it will then move them correctly with all the linking.
