Was this drive originally on W7 and upgraded?

Yes and no. It’s a clean install of 10 but it’s from having 7. I don’t remember if it was on this Forum or another that showed how to do it using “gatherosstate.exe” to create a “GenuineTicket.xml” from the 7 install and using it in conjunction with “MediaCreationTool.exe” to create an “iso” and adding the XML to the new install of 10.

One’s labeled Recovery Partition (450MB) and the other is EFI System Partition (100MB).

I removed the quotation marks from the first expression and it worked.

Thanks

I also see that there aren’t any quotation marks around the first link eg Y:Opera_cacheOpera Stable, Y:ChromeCache.

So I moved the files to “Y:” and deleted then from “C:”. On “Y: I have Y:Opera_CacheOpera StableCache” and “Media Cache” and on “C:” I’m down to “C:UsersMarcAppDataLocalOpera Software” and I still get the “Cannot create a file” message.

This is what I tried for an exist folder:

mklink /D “C:UsersMarcAppDataLocalGoogleChromeUser DataDefaultCache
” “Y:ChromeCache”

You suggested that I change it to:

mklink /D “Y:ChromeCache” “Y:ChromeCacheC:UsersMarcAppDataLocalGoogleChromeUser DataDefaultCache”

I get the “Cannot create a file” message.

When I try it with no folder:

mklink /D “C:UsersMarcAppDataLocalOpera SoftwareOpera Stable” “Y:Opera_cacheOpera Stable”

You suggested that I change it to:

mklink /D “Y:Opera_cacheOpera Stable” “C:UsersMarcAppDataLocalOpera SoftwareOpera Stable”

I still get “The system cannot find path” message.

Thanks! I tried using it to change the color after I renamed the existing ini file and nothing so I don’t know if any changes will make any difference.

You should try copying the last part of the path “Folder MarkericlColors.icl” into the Folder C:UsersMarcAppDataRoamingArcticLine

Then verify that %FOLDER_MARKER_DIR% in the environment expands to “C:UsersMarcAppDataRoamingArcticLineFolder Marker”

You can verify this by typing “echo %FOLDER_MARKER_DIR%” into a command prompt window.

I hope this puts you on the right track.

It’s in roaming but the environment point to the Folder Marker folder in Progam Files (x86). Neither one of these solves all the ones that reference “C:Documents and SettingsMarcApplication DataArcticLineFolder MarkericlColors.icl”

It’s there “C:UsersMarcAppDataRoamingArcticLine” but how do I get the colors and icons that are referencing the other to work?

Sorry this is for a third party software.

Sorry it’s taken so long to respond. This is a clean install so there’s no Windows.old. In XP the upgrades where shown as blue folders. I’ve looked everywhere to remove those and the install files but can’t find them. I think their the majority of the problem. I didn’t know I could more the users files. Does right clicking on the User folder give you the option to move them like it does Documents or do I need to do something else?

If you open one of the .ini files they reference a color and icon in Documents and Settings.

I ended up disconnecting the DVI and using D-Sub and it worked fine. Why the DVI decided to get flaky now is beyond me.

Another just noticed. Right before it goes to that blank blue what looks like a command prompt window opens and closes almost quicker than you can see it.

Two out of the three are finished after many fits and starts! The one computer won’t boot from a USB, Gigabyte MB, the other something kept on corrupting the install on a brand new hard drive but it’s working fine. I was sort of concerned on the speed on the oldest computer but it was 3GB of memory and is more than acceptable for a HTPC.

Thanks to everyone.
