I have a server with a 9 gig RAID 1 and a 108 gig RAID 5. I installed and setup Coppermine in the standard c:\inetpub\wwwroot directory. Is there any way to move just the albums folder to the 108 gig drive or should I move the entire site to the 108 gig drive?

for security resons you shouldn't use the default paths in the first place, as many iis exploits use the default as ways to propagate. Technically speaking, you could change the albums path in coppermine's config or try the third-party tool Winbolic that enables something similar to Lunix symlinks. Self-hosting is not recommended unless you have very good skills and know your way around in hardening your server against exploits/attacks.

I'm the IT Administrator of a local newspaper. It is going to be used an in house Photo Gallery to store our local photos for the reporters so security is not a big concern. I tried changing the albums path in the config but it couldn't see the folder correctly.
