I have a friend that has this question:

Can anyone tell me how to move my folding file from C: to an E: SATA drive I put in? It's a P4 3gh, with windows xp home. It hsa a 80ghHD that is just supposed to start windows then hand everything over to the E SATA drive, but it keeps loading folding on the c drive.

Can anyone here tell him whether it can be done and if so, how to do it?

Sun :-)

Just drag and drop in Windows Explorer. They'll have to do a couple other things, depending on which client they're running.

SMP- run install.bat from the new location and make new shortcuts
CPU console (manual)- new shortcuts
CPU console (service)- stop client and run config to remove the service before moving, run config and start service after the move to keep the registry entries straight

If you are using the GUI client (or even if you installed it once but no longer use it) you'll need to add the -local flag to ALL shortcuts - - or go through the GUI installation process again, specifying the new installation location on the new drive.
