October 5, 200718 yr Hello,Right now, I have FS9 all on it's on in my D: drive and FSX with all the clutter on my C: drive. I wanted FS9 to run at max so I gave it it's own home. Now, since FS9 screams on my rig, I would like to swap places and put FSX into the D: drive all on it's own and FS9 into the C: with the clutter. Can I just drag and drop FS9 to C: and FSX to D: or will some "internal connections" or registry whatevers be disconnected?Thanks. ___________________________I'm just flying for the fun of it.
October 6, 200718 yr Hello,I used : http://www.rekenwonder.com/linkmagic.htmAnd it works.Copy the entire FS Folder to the "new" HD, empty the old folder (DO NOT FORGET THE HIDDEN FILES) and create the "link".Hope it helps Emile EBBR Z590 Aorus Elite, i9-11900K 3.5Ghz Nvidia RTX 5070, 32 GB Mem, SSD 3 Tera , 3 monitors Win11 Pro X64 LM P3D V6.1 Little Nav Map Hifisim Nvidia 591.44
October 6, 200718 yr Author Interesting. I'll look in to that.So are you saying that a Drag & Drop will cause FS9 and FSX to fail?Thanks. ___________________________I'm just flying for the fun of it.
October 6, 200718 yr Hi,In my opinion some paths are "written" in the registry.If you change the location these paths will "point" to a wrong location.

October 10, 200718 yr Along the lines of this, is it best to install FSX in its own partition or should a person not partition the C drive?
October 10, 200718 yr Hi Mike,Ideally if you can, place FS on its own seperate drive, however partitioning C can do the trick also, and is perfectly ok to do. There are several reasons why this benefits the user, but to keep things simple i wont go into them ;)One thing though, can't stress it enough BEFORE you attempt to partition any drive, BACKUP WHAT IS IMPORTANT TO YOU.Regards,
