Right click on the Videos folder and click on the location tab this will allow you to redirect to the large drive.

on my own setup I have all my user folders on a separate partition and point the folders there so for example c:\users\username\downloads actually points to D:\downloads

vista uses a system of junction points for other system type directories which can all be relocated if required - the user folders are the only ones where it is a simple thing to do though

hope this helps

I had no idea you could do this. So the 360 will still look at c:\users\mike\videos but vista will redirect the 360 into D:\videos?

LOL, this reply would have saved me hours of frustration a year ago

plus a year's worth of frustration over barely using my Raptor HD and almost exclusively using the slower 1TB jobber which I'm pretty sure doesn't work quite right anyway.

Thanks.
