There's nothing I care to add to any of this until I hear from Tempt on what
we should focus on. lol
I gues I should add that I don't care much for the idea of putting Program
Files or any other system location on an external. Not because it can't be
done, but just because I can't predict what would happen if you turned on
the system and forgot to turn on the external first. I would think it would
be alright after a reboot (with the external running this time), but I'm
concerned about any file corruption it might cause within the internal OS
drive. The Documents folder is NOT a true system location, although the OS
does need to keep tabs on it's location.
Peace,
Gman
