Question: I am working on migrating data across many disparate drives onto one massive Windows 8 Storage Space.
Problem I have is that many of my programs reference various drive letters to acces their libraries, files, music, movies, etc.
Is there any way I can, for example, have any reference of drives D, E, F, and G all point to the new drive S:?
Answer: Yes, use the subst command in the command line: subst NewLetter: OldLetter:
For example, to assign the current C: drive the letter H: as well: subst H: C:
See subst /? for more info.
