    Music library partition links?


    hey guys, i have recently been given a laptop, i removed vista and did a clean install of windows 7 ultimate. since then i have made a 30gb partition on the hard drive and have installed windows 8 as a dual boot. i would like to be able to use my music library from the music app within windows 8, is there any way to link the music to the partition so windows 8 can read it from windows 7? (i wasnt sure if this should be eight forums or seven, I have an account here so i decided here.)

    thanksw in advance :)

    If you use Windows Media Player in Windows 7, you can tell it to look for music in a certain location.
    Organize-Manage Libraries-Music-Add, and then select the location where your music is.

    From Win8 browse to your Music user folder on the Win7 partition via Start>Computer, rightclick on My Music to add to the Music Library - Include a Folder - Windows 7 Forums.

    Now your Music files will be visible when you click on Music in Win8.

    If this doesn't help explain more fully how you'd like to access these files.
