I don't use the mt4-folder (mt5 might be the same) but my folder structure using the /portable-mode.
To me it's a lot easier to handle.
Try to copy everything with in that folder to a new one (e.g. C:\Users\onesoubra-user\Documents\Mt4 T1\),
and create a short cut with:
Target: C:\Users\onesoubra-user\Documents\Mt4 T1\terminal.exe /portable
Execute in: C:\Users\onesoubra-user\Documents\Mt4 T1\
Beside that I am using Schinagl's Link Shell Extension (google - it's free) as sometime the a link isn't accepted but it's links are accepted as 'real' folders!
Maybe Win 7, 8, and 10 don't need that but I have kept it from "Once upon a time".
install it new on the other drive. After that you can transfer your templates and anything else you want e.g. EAs.
Already tried ! But the data folder going direct/default to c: (as above)
I have the same problem and I have all the tick data on an external USB-drive (1TB). From there I create the fxt-files I need. Beside that using the Link Shell Extension to have only one folder for all fxt files for all my terminals.

Yes mate
I don't think you need more that 1TB for the tickdata - but each fxt-file m1, m5, m15,.. do have the same size and they can get quite big.
I have an USB drive with 1 TB and ~50% full with mainly Dukascopy.

Thanks
