[QUOTE="jfirth8187, post: 386168, member: 70869"] Hi all, I know this has been covered before but none of the threads have given me the option that I need. I've got a Samsung Spinpoint F1 1TB drive which is coming to the end of it's capacity, only a few Gb's left. I want to buy another one of these drives as I've had good reliability with them. Therefore, how can I put another drive into my HTPC and link folders on my main drive to a folder on the second drive. The reason why I want to do this is I only want to browse to one folder on my main drive for Movies, one for TV Series, one for Music, etc. This will make it easier to maintain for me and easier for everybody to browse for info through the main sections in MP. Really for TV Series and others it doesn't matter. I've heard of jump links or something for linking folders in windows so that a folder on Drive C: directs and expands itself automatically because it has now the linked to a folder on Drive D: If I do this will it effect the drive space viewed in windows or MP via 'Drive Free Space' plugin. If I'm looking for the wrong solution here please let me know and I'll browse through the different threads for dedicated servers with RAID etc. I'm running a single client/server setup running Vista 32 SP1, see PC specs below.
