Hey guys, I'm having some trouble making a symbolic link across 2 drives on Windows 7.

So, the actual file is on the RAMdisk:
Code:
H:\Atari
I want the symbolic link to link to
Code:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Atari

I will also want to change
Code:
C:\Users\[My name]\Documents\RCT3

to
Code:
H:\RCT3

I am kind of following this, just for the symbolic link part http://forums.anandtech.com/showthread.php?t=268590

it says to cd to where the folder originally was,
Code:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Atari

then do the whole MKLINK /D command, but I'm having trouble with this part, it either says invalid switch or that the syntax is incorrect. Can someone come up with the correct code to type in?

Thanks,
Myles
 
I don't have a working Windows Vista/7, so I can't check this to create symbolic links, but instead of that command you can check Link Shell Extension, which you can use from Explorer (right mouse button click, or right click and drag and drop on an Explorer window / desktop). With it, creating hardlinks, symlinks, or junctions is as simple as clicking on files/folders/drives with mouse.
