Need some help I followed directions here [HowTo] An extended guide on how to move the Plex data folder on Windows
But for whatever reason at startup or launching the server from start menu it still starts from old drive. What am I missing where do I change to get it to start and not reference old drive???
I think it’s using the data from new drive but server is running old but I’m lost.
What do you mean by that?
Are you expecting that the procedure moved the program/executable files of Plex server to a different drive as well?
It doesn’t do that, and should not attempt to move these away from drive C:.
Ok cool… noted
So now how do I fix??
I followed guide but still stuck.
How do I tell the exe file and startup to use different drive?
All of Plex runs on one drive that drive must go new drive cannot be renamed.
I copied all over I can click on exe file on new drive and things work. How can I change startup and change startup menu
Please explain what you’re intending to do.
In the end, will there be a new hard drive with the letter C: ?
When I startup and double click on start menu it starts running my Plex server on i drive I copied all Plex related stuff over to my Y drive as it’s a dedicated ssd drive
You must think I know what I’m doing as I don’t if I unplug my i drive nothing works if I double click the Plex server exe file inside my Y drive everything works fine
if I restart my computer Plex server doesn’t start
Please use some interpunction.
That is to be expected. Without its data, Plex server cannot operate.
Are you for real have you read anything I’ve written??? All of my data as you have instructed has been moved to a completely different drive that’s still plugged in.
How the hell do I direct startup to the new drive???
What part of my interpunction prevents you from clearly answering the question being posed?
Seriously if this your idea of support you need to get a new perspective.
Sorry, I don’t understand what you mean by this.
What do you expect Plex to do?
I want Plex to give me a support person who can actually read my question as I wrote from the beginning and stops making snide remarks.
Startup as in all the programs that run at the time the computer starts up. Plex points to old drive. How does one tell startup to look in a different spot?
Please understand that these are 3 different things:
The above linked procedure only describes moving of # 2)
Performing it should have no influence on running/autostarting Plex Server (the program), because this will stay in its default position on drive C:
Did you perform any actions additionally to the above linked procedure?
A user is asking how after moving things around. The exe shortcut in the start list and startup used to point to one drive. If that drive is removed those links no longer work (of course they don’t)
How does one redirect those links to the new drive?
Wowsers you continue to be caught up on yourself and your past posts. What you think should be obvious isn’t to others.
Sadly I would think someone who is providing support would want to help. By asking questions that get them the info needed and gathering the info needed to answer the actual question. And yet you continue to ignore the questions posed. Seriously just look in the first post. I can see you just pop in read something quickly answer and move on without any context to what was previously posted.
Above is not what you said you did in your opening post!
( So no wonder @OttoKerner is confused here 
)
So are you saying, that you want to move the binaries (exe files etc.) as well ?
And lastly, @OttoKerner is trying to help you, and one of the most skilled ones on the forums for your platform, so please do not assume otherwise!
I’m sorry I don’t know what binaries are.
All I know is on my new drive there is a few plexserver.exe or such I double click everything works.
Once again I did SOMETHING and now my startup and list of apps on start list point to old drive.
