Stuart Posted June 8, 2009 Posted June 8, 2009 Basically, how can i change EVERYTHING i save from now on to save on another hard drive. I have literally ~ 200 mb free out of 144gb on my first hard drive, the one that windows is on. I bought a 500gb hard drive a while back and im now installing games there. So again how can i automatically save everything there. For example if i rip a cd i was it to be savein in the second hard drive, but still be in the music folder with my music from the first hard drive. I hope i am clear enough. If not tell me and ill try and make it clearer. thanks Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrewr05 Posted June 8, 2009 Posted June 8, 2009 It is not worth the hassle of trying to merge two disks together. You are better off just installing the new drive and installing things on that drive from this point on. If you want to map your My Pictures, My Videos or My Music folders to the new drive you can use Microsoft TweakUI. Then just drag a shortcut to your previous media folders (into their respective new drive locations) and you should be good to go.

Thanks for the reply but the software says cannot set up microsoft windows powertoys. And ye i have already installed the new harddrive and have a few games on it, I think you understand exactly what i want to do, with what you said about mapping so i can save pictures, music etc on the new hard drive and they will be visible in the pictures, music etc folder. Glad it makes sense to you Thanks Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanTheGamer11 Posted June 8, 2009 Posted June 8, 2009 can't you clone your first hdd to the bigger 500gb? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kingfisher Posted June 8, 2009 Posted June 8, 2009 You can cut and paste your current music folder to your new hard drive. Do you use windows media player to rip cd's and listen to music, etc... If so you would have to go into media player options and tell it to save your ripped music to your music folder's new home.
