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
