Title: added a hard drive
Post by: dobe on May 25, 2012, 02:30:04 PM

hi, i am running out of space on my 111gb hard drive ( C: ), and have added a 1 terrabyte hard drive ( E: ). i have connected it up and formatted the new drive and it is listed as new volume E: by the computer. what i anm wondering is does anyone have any idea how to get the music files to start going to the new hard drive. will it do it itself or do i have to reinstall the videobox software. thank you for any help if anyone knows.

Hi dobe

I will try to help if you can expand a little...

Not sure what this means:-  "how to get the music files to start going to the new hard drive"  ?.

Do you mean:-  point Videobox to start using the music on your E drive ?.

the original hard drive which is still in the pc and is running, has the JBP folder inside it. however the hard drive is almost full, and so i am looking for the videobox software to start putting it on the new hard drive that is connected into the pc. there is a C: drive ( nearly full, and an E: drive that has 1 terrabyte on it. there is only about 3 gig of space left on the C: drive, and am wondering what i should be doing to start using the new E: drive

aaah , yes if i could transfer all the JBP onto the new drive and point the videobox to go there, that would be great

Hi dobe

Yes that is easy, just copy your JBP folder from your C: to your E: drive, then go into music files in your software and point it to E:\JBP
