Moving files

Postby sarahbear » 01 Oct 2009 02:19

Hi guys! I have posted with Shareaza before but not since you've moved sites. Anyway I have a few questions about moving files and wanted to confirm with you guys before I did anything drastic.

I have added more ram to my computer so I have 2 different drives. My C drive is really full and I know that Shareaza is one of my larger files on that drive that I would like to move. Am I to do a clean install as mentioned in the FAQ's? Cut and paste all of my files to my new E drive and then delete and reinstall in the E drive?

Also, I used to be able to have my files transfer from Shareaza to windows media player (when I would open WMP) automatically but haven't been able to get the files to transfer automatically. Is this something with Shareaza or wmp? I do have the 'add media files to player when played' checked but that doesn't seem to be what I am looking for as the files used to just add as soon as I opened the player and I didn't have to go through the process of searching for the file and then adding.

I like WMP because I can sync ipods and mp3's for all of my music.

Your help is appreciated :)

I am not quit sure what you want to do. If you only want to add a new drive you need only to set in settings new added folders, and I think it can be done without clean install. I mean it is not necessery. After set new paths, close and open will make Shareaza will start use new folders. Old folders can stay where they are. Good idea is to have incomplete on one drive and downloads on another as during copying downloaded file is being defragmenting, so this save HDD. But this works only on phisically different drives, may not work on two partitions of the same drive.
If you want to be safe you can try not on all yopur data but on small folders created for this tests and tries and containing lets say 1 or 2 files. So you will see if this works and your data are just safe as they would be copied. Think before you will do anything drastic. ;)
