I moved to a SSD and can no longer store my music & video on the 'C' Drive and have moved it to 'D' i have updated my script but it is not making any changes...

I have checked the paths and even cut&paste the address to make sure

robocopy /e D:\Music p:\Jimmy\Music /MIR /R:50
robocopy /e C:\Users\Jimmy\pictures p:\Jimmy\Pictures /MIR /R:50
robocopy /e C:\Users\Jimmy\Utilities p:\Utilities /MIR /R:50
robocopy /e D:\Videos P:\Jimmy\Videos /MIR /R:50
robocopy /e C:\Users\Jimmy\documents p:\Jimmy\documents /MIR /R:50


i have also tried running the script from the 'D' drive and changing the paths...

i'm stumped!
 
OK sorry, everything is updating apart from the 'D' locations (music and video) i am using win7, it has worked fine for months, but now the vid & music are on 'D' the script just skips and does not add or change anything
 
sorry if i am failing to make myself clear guys....

1. OLD SCRIPT

robocopy /e C:\Users\Jimmy\music p:\Jimmy\Music /MIR /R:50
robocopy /e C:\Users\Jimmy\pictures p:\Jimmy\Pictures /MIR /R:50
robocopy /e C:\Users\Jimmy\Utilities p:\Utilities /MIR /R:50
robocopy /e C:\Users\Jimmy\videos P:\Jimmy\Videos /MIR /R:50
robocopy /e C:\Users\Jimmy\documents p:\Jimmy\documents /MIR /R:50

got a SSD and had to move Music & Video to a data drive 'D'

new script...

robocopy /e D:\Music p:\Jimmy\Music /MIR /R:50
robocopy /e C:\Users\Jimmy\pictures p:\Jimmy\Pictures /MIR /R:50
robocopy /e C:\Users\Jimmy\Utilities p:\Utilities /MIR /R:50
robocopy /e D:\Videos P:\Jimmy\Videos /MIR /R:50
robocopy /e C:\Users\Jimmy\documents p:\Jimmy\documents /MIR /R:50

no changes being made on the video and music entries... every other line is working
 
OK....

yes there is lots of new data and changes, at least 30 new files and at least 120 data corrections and about 3.2 gig of data off the top of my head.

the script is set to mirror, but it is not changing or writing or mirroring anything in regards to the 'D' locations. the 'C' locations work as normal as expected mirroring my changes.

When you say "the script just skips", what *exactly* do you mean... does it show something like this:

when i say skips i just mean it skips any changes, ignores the hole command in regards to the 'D' commands
