ive got several specialised partitions 1 for win98, 1 for win XP, 1 as a game drive, and 1 for all of the my documents stuff...

C:/ WIN 98 - fat32
D:/ Documents and settings - fat32
E:/ WIN XP - NTFS
F:/ Game drive - not sure
// Linux swap1
// Linux swap2

...i was wondering if there was anyway you could take a folder for something like game saves and make the os write it to another partition..but not confuse the game or make it "unhappy".......heres an example

C:/ProgramFiles/[insert randome game]/saves

but make that directory point to:

D:/games/[insert the same randome game]/saves

wot i have done to my sys alows me to place all of the special folders on the same partition so i can share the my docs folder with both win 98 and XP...but i would like to do the same for game saves too...if it is possible it would greatly simplify the process of backing up my files

You could try using the SUBST

That is an old DOS command, to make a "mirror" drive for a folder.

SUBST H: c:temp
that makes H: whatever is in c:temp

Since it is dos, you cannot use c:program files instead you must use c:progra~1

other than that, I really dont know

words of advice, if you are going this route, put that command in the startup files, like autoexec.bat, since you are using 98
