[QUOTE="porky996t, post: 781297, member: 75318"] H Rob I would just let MP install to its default location on the C: drive. It could avoid any potential problems with plugins etc. Re the drives; I can only use my own experience. I have a number of drives in use and this is just to allow for a decent amount of storage space. I use an Intel SSD for the OS with MP in its default location (there is only MP installed as the HTPC is used purely as a media centre/server) and this SSD is also used for timeshifting live TV - I use an SSD purely for speed. For recorded TV I have a separate 160Gb drive and then manually transfer stuff I want to keep to other drives. For films I use a dedicated 2Tb drive with the MovingPictures plugin. For TV Series I use another 2Tb drive and the MyTVSeries plugin and finally for music & pictures I have another 2Tb drive. Probably seems like a lot of drives, but it is the best solution for me - I have been using MP linked to the TV in the living room for 2 years now and it works great and my kitchen and bedroom clients work well with this setup. Just have to make sure MP Config points to the right folder on the correct drive. HTH M. [/QUOTE]
