Mapping folders to partitions

Hi guys,

I just reinstalled Windows on my laptop, but done it using a partition of 16gb for the operating system, and then the rest of the drive as a partition on its own.

I was wondering if there's a way to map a folder that's in Documents so that all the storage takes place in the larger partition, rather than just the OS partition? Reason being, I'd rather still have my main stuff in the Documents folder, but obviously only being 16GB there won't be enough room on that partition for a large bulk of stuff as well as the operating system.

Cheers

 

Assuming you're using Vista or Win7, go to your My Documents folder within the Documents node in the library. Right Click and select Properties. Select the Location tab and choose where you want the folder to be. Then click Move to move your files to the new location.
Do this also with your Music, Videos and Pictures.

 

Seems to have done the job. I was checking the folder properties to try do it before making the post but couldn't find the location tab then, weird.

Cheers
