Great video....this seemed like the perfect option for me because I just built a brand new machine complete with a small SSD that houses windows and a large HDD for storage. The problem is that when I install programs into the folder that is symbolically linked to the HDD my available space on the SSD still decreases. Any thoughts on why this might be?
I wanna create symbol link fot ts3. I folowed your instructions, and it didn't work. Then i made TestFolder and tried again and it worked. Can you help me, I can't see where i made a mistake! When i press enter it won't work: The syntax of the command is incorect. I runed cmd like administrator and wrote : C:\Windows\system32>mklink /d D:\Electronic Arts C:\Users\Vucevic\Documents\Electronic Arts ... I tried, and it didn't work, then i copied all files from Electronic Arts in documents to D:
how to you link to a directory that already exists? I want C:\Users\Capoderra to point to D:\Users\Capoderra where D: is where I am going to keep all of my data. That way if something happens to Windows on my C: I only have to copy a clone to C: to get the OS working again and all my data on D: can just stay there.
On the cmd it says: i do not have sufficient priviledge to perform this operation. how can i fix this, also i have steam on a 40gb ssd and i want to store some of the games on my D drive to save space can i do this? Thanks
Looks easy enough as I did it just now. I remember knowing how to do that in Linux. This is sort of similar but I never had that arrow thing show up on Linux.
I'm sure I never did mklinks when I was learning Linux Fundamentals.
No, unfortunately it was not implemented in XP. I only came around with the major modifications they did for Vista which are now also in 7. My steam name is bensauce ;)
nice tutorial. wish i had windows 7. i have it, but i had to go back to xp cause 7 wasn't compatible with my sound card. and btw, we must get the wallpapers from the same site, cause everytime you make a tutorial, you have the same wallpaper as i do. lol
What would I put after C:\ if I wanted the symbolic link to go to SteamM
