2 hdds for os and fsx question

Postby lowrunner » Sat Jan 12, 2013 9:59 pm

hey guys!
i have a bad situation. i have a older comp with a 40 GB harddrive im now out of room for my fsx scenery addons.  how frustrating!!!!!!! i have a couple other 40 GB harddrives i can use with it. is there a way i can add scenery to the other harddrive and gex,utx ftx.  and still run fsx and it will use the scenery from that drive? or is it just used for storage ( the extra harddrive) if theres anyway i can use 2 harddrives to run fsx stuff please direct mr to directions.

my old ak77 pro dont have raid.  will fsx run on a seperate HD if i reload all my fsx stuff on it and leave my main HD for operating system??? i can fit it all on that way.  but im not sure how.  do i set the other hd as slave ?? if it can even be done.  Hard times, cant afford another HD at this time  thanks

I run my scenery files on a different HDD. Just when you add scenery you have specify where it is. putting all your scenery in add on scenery files slows your 'puter down. From a different file your scenery only loads when you call for it.
