How do I send a folder (such as a movie) to my other harddrive?

I have 2 hard drives but I can't copy and paste it to the new hard drive without deleting the original and dragging it over still doesn't allow me to delete the original. When i right click and select send to -> it doesmn't show my second hard drive as an option.

Rather than selecting "Sent to..." from that menu, right click the file you want to transfer and select "Copy". Now navigate to the folder you want to put it in on the second hard drive and right click anywhere blank and select "Paste". Sorry if you already did this, but it sounds as if you are new to computers.
Right click on the file and select Copy(not Send To)
Open the new drive from My Computer
On a blank space rick click and select Paste
The file will now be on both drives so
Rick click on the original file and select Delete
Done, unless you want to remove it from the Recycle Bin
