   I may have misunderstood the bigger picture here - I have not closely   
   followed this thread, although I have read all the posts - but "move" (in   
   DOS/Windows/CMD.EXE) definitely can and does move files between drives.   
      
   I assume it is implemented as a copy followed by a delete.  (For   
   completeness): If the files are on the same drive, then a simple rename is   
   performed.   
      
   Of course, "rename" only works on a single drive...
