Hi,

Is the aim to have the my documents folder stored on the second drive transparantly? E.G. changing where start > my documents takes you and by extention my pictures, music and videos?

Cheers, Ben.

Hello,

Thank you for your reply. First of all yes I am definitely on NTFS for both drives. I was not aware you could mount via a commandline utility, I'd actually prefer that rather than going in to disk management, I try to avoid that one.

The My documents folder is empty and it's contents are on the other drive that I want under my documents, and I'm not talking the desktop shortcut I'm talking the one under documents and settings\username.

Thanks. Dave.

Hi,

You certain you're on NTFS?

Also, if assigning via the command line (which I realise you weren't, but you may get a better error that way for debugging purposes), you already need to have the empty subfolder created before you can mount it.

Is that of any use?

Hello,

This is on an xpsp3 pro system. I've got a second drive that I'm wanting to mount under the my documents folder area. I've copied everything from that folder on to the drive and gone to disk management, selected the needed drive, first removed the drive letter, second tried to mount it under a path vs. a drive letter. All I'm getting is by drive letter which is not what I want. I read this was doable.

Thanks. Dave.
