Is this even possible?

[Whatzizname]

So I got my dads old ACER Aspire Small Form Factor PC after he had a few driver issues and gave me the PC because I don't use the drivers. It Runs Most games such as Borderlands 2, And I am pretty sure it will run Railworks since my Bro's PC runs Railworks But cant Run Borderlands.

But I have 1 question, Has anyone tried to run railworks while it is split on 2 Harddrives?
I Currently have a 700GB Hard drive plugged in, But it is split into 2 350GB mini drives. I am going to transfer my couple hundred gigs of Railworks from my brothers PC to this one, and I was wondering if it is Possible to split Railworks between the 2 disks and still have it run fine.
Just wondering because the main HDD is only 500GB and i use that one for Filming and having my OS, Java, Steam and other things and and my 500GB external has my other games.

I don't think you can run TS on two separate drives, it has to be on one drive.

The problem I encountered with the Aspire is that you can only put a low profile graphics card in it,and that EXTREMELY limited choices. And Railworks has to have a great GPU.

It is quite possible depending on your computer skills.
I would implement it using an NTFS junction point.

My mother had one of those Aspire mini PCs with a G200 chipset.
I downloaded TS 2012 onto it one night when I was visiting and burned up the chipset when I ran it !
And like others have said, it can't take a full size graphics card.
Power supplies are also limited.
Mobos for those things are almost none existent.

How does that work - say if I wanted to put US routes on one HDD and European on a second HDD - how would I instruct railworks.exe to access these 2 separate drives using a symbolic link. It would be great if it can be done that way.

You will need to define a junction point for each european route folder.
What drive letters are you using for your main HDD and your external HDD?

Hi Chacal
Very Interesting: I do use symbolic links for several programs - use to use them for RW but no longer at present.
The main Steam/Railworks folder would be say L: (SSD) and the second HDD for the split install would be M: (SSD) (The system drive is C: with Win 7 64-bit).
The L:Drive is a 120GB HDD and is now at 112GB full - I'd like to split that install and move the DLC etc to the new SSD M: but still starting the game via steam on drive L:
Thanks
