Setup a similar directory on the drive that has space (dunno if M$ will let you do this) and then use scp to move all the directories and files. Next you setup a soft link from almost full to the empty (sort of) disk. I've been doing this from connecting files/directories from the single hard drive that is the operating system and the Raid-10 array which is where I want most everything that I don't want to lose. This might just be a 'hacky' solution and I really have no idea if it will work on M$ but it does get the job done.
