just select the files you want to copy ( high-light them )
then right click on and and select copy.
now go to D drive, right click and press Paste.




shortcuts:
copy > Hold control and press C
Paste > Hold control and press V
Select all > Hold control and press A

You might need to go into "Disk Management" and assign a drive letter to the drive, if it is not showing up in Explorer or your choice of a File manager.

If you installed one drive, it will be C:, more than likely.
A second drive or partition, may be D: or another assigned letter, as CD/DVD drives may be assigned to those letters.

You really need to explain what drive's you installed and what assignments you see.
