Hardware, Software, and Other Imperialist Crap / grumble grumble...HI! External hardrive question
« on: September 22, 2010, 01:55:42 AM »
Because I can't post in the hardware forum, I'll post here instead.
So, I have an external harddrive. I use it for (amongst other things), listening to music on my two computers.
I use foobar to listen to music. When I had it on one computer, I had foobar setup to read my music from the harddrive (the E: drive). However, my new computer reads my HD as the F: drive....
See the problem?
It means I have to have foobar set up to read from both locations, but that means that I get duplicates of each file (when only one will work), and when I go to the next computer, it will have try and read the E: drive, but cannot, so it deems it as corrupt. When I return to the old computer, it means it has to take 5+ minutes scanning my HD....
So, my question is; Is there a way to make both computers read my drive as the E: drive (or the F: drive)?
Or, is there a better solution?
