    So my C: drive is completely full. I don't know how to move things into my G: drive or another drive. It won't let me run things like Skype and stuff, due to the full storage.
    If anyone could help me fix this it would be amazing.

    Your C: drive just means your computer's internal memory. So you can pull from anywhere, like your desktop (Which is where I'll pull from for this), and open some space. Here's how:

    First, double check that all is there and that your backup drive (G: ) is plugged in and won't be accidentally unpluged. (If it does get unplugged during the transfer process, it might corrupt files)

    Secondly, open up the file explorer and click to open your second drive (G: ). Scale down the window and move it a bit to the side, keeping it open.

    Then, try to take the larger folders, such as a media folder (Movies or pictures), and drag and drop from your desktop to your open drive. (Move the folders into the open window that has your drive open.)

    Then you'll have some room to play with, you can create other folders and transfer your non-important stuff to it as well, bunching them up all for one transfer. To do so, create a new folder and repeat the same process. Once you move enough items, drag and drop the folder from your desktop to your external drive (G: ) and then just fiddle around with whats most important and what you can store away. It's not as difficult as it sounds. If you need any further help or clarification, feel free to contact me on my Skype or if you happen to catch me on TS, poke me. ^-^
