asked on
2 physical drives (one small SSD and 1 large platter hard drive) - how to make it show as 1 drive, keep the SSD from getting filled
Bought an Optiplex 7050. Came with a 256GB SSD and windows 10. I put a 1 TB platter hard drive in there. I really don't want the user to see a C & D drive. This is a stand alone PC in a workgroup.
any recommendations so that they see just a C drive and files they create / put in my docs, desktop, etc actually go on the 1TB drive? I don't want to rely on the user having to remember to put things on the 1TB drive.
Otherwise the C will get filled up fast.
thank

thanks guys. I did that, as Mcknife showed. So I don't have a 2nd drive letter. I was able to manually go into properties of c:\users\username and change the location to c:\data\redirected\usernam e\...
Then I hid redirected folder. So user can use C;\data for storing other files and not see the redirected tree
is there that big a difference than mounting it as Z, hide that drive letter with registry tweak, then make locations point to z:\redirected\username\...
I thought I knew how to move the swap file to another drive, but since the 2nd drive doesn't have a letter, is that why that 2nd drive isn't showing in the isettings page for that? Back to the top of this reply - should I mount as a folder or give it a drive letter?
A bit weird? the system has 16GB ram and it was saying it is using / recommending 2GB swap file?
Thanks

Yes, I'd just like to make the C:\users tree stored on the big drive
As for seeing the big drive's letter, I could set it to be the Z drive then hide the z drive with the registry tweak, right? out of sight out of mind for the user.
So how to tell it to go to the big drive for c:\users... ?
