fluffy69 Posted September 29, 2006 Share Posted September 29, 2006 i want to install a second harddisk into my mac, so i can use the extra space for music, video and document files and maybe some aplications. i would like to know if its possible to move the native video folders to that extra drive.

Dr. Evil Posted September 29, 2006 Share Posted September 29, 2006 i'm sure there is some way to change the path of these folders, someone will probably point it out soon! if i couldn't find a way i would try the following (using ~/Pictures as example). 1. Copy ~/Pictures to /Volumes/newdisk/Pictures 2. Delete ~/Pictures 3. Create a symbolic link in home folder pointing to /Volumes/newdisk/Pictures ln -s /Volumes/newdisk/Pictures /Users/yourname you already know but do drop your stuff into a burn folder and backup before messing with it!
