Need to Change Windows System Partition Drive Letter

theog said:

Your system is the SAME as my test rig.

DO THIS TO SEE.

1) Open a command prompt. (from the desktop)
Type in command line
2) DISKPART
3) LIST DISK
You will see the screenshot above.

4) User Profile - Change Default Location

Thanks for the reply. However, my system is NOT the same as yours. For example, I performed the above process (DISKPART etc) on my work's PC (also Windows 7 Pro) (and not the PC I was discussing in my original post) and here is the screenshot...



The output is very different from your screenshot!

I also fail to understand why anyone would rather use the "move user folder" method you link to be "better" or "easier" than being able to change the location of ALL user folders (new and existing) by simply performing this in the command prompt (while Windows is not running)...

robocopy /mir /xj C:\Users D:\Users
rmdir /s /q C:\Users
mklink /j C:\Users D:\Users

Thanks anyway to all those who replied.

Edit done.

LIST VOLUME.

You only need to move the active User folders: User Folders - Change Default Location
and MS did make it as easy as clicking the Location tab to change location. Have another folder by that name standing by on D.

The only hitch is you must use another imaging backup besides Win7 which will then view D as a System partition requiring it to be included in the OS image. User folders are System files.

For this reason some prefer to a copy the User folders to the data partition, then link them by right clicking to link to the related Library - Include a Folder - Windows 7 Forums
