View Full Version : Can you move MojoPac to a Subdirectory?

I have MojoPac installed on the root of my external USB 120 GB Seagate drive - works well but I wanted to move all the files it uses to a subdirectory to keep things nice and neat - but after doing so MojoPac would not run.

Once I put everything back to how it was before it did run - but is there an easy way to move the files needed to make it work within the same device?

Also my USB drive is currently formatted to FAT32 and I'm thinking of coping everything off and reformatting to NTFS with a 512 byte cluster size as I see that is what is recommended for the best performace and reliability.

Will a straight forward copy off, reformat and copy back procedure work?

Not that I know of and... I made the same mistake. Ouch! Then, I re-did the whole install over (but neater).

I think, by default and probably hard coded, MoJo looks to the C:\[root] to find what it needs which seems natural.

Now, I only do MoJo instals to TrueCrypt volumes [only v4.3a] which I can move anywhere. That way... my C:\ always goes with me and I always have 100% control plus everything is ultra-secure in case I lose the drive or someone just gets nosey. . :) :D

Dunno but Partition Magic and other disk programs will do the conversion on the fly. Do a search for "Hiren's BootCD ver9+" and you just might find the "win" conversion software you are looking for. I know there are some probelms if you let Microsoft do the conversion.


Just make a "file" backup which is independent of any partition formatting. I think the only time this is critical is with booting hard drives where the OS looks for "boot sectors" which should not be part of your [above] problem.

Hope this helps

Currently, Mojopac doesn't support installation of Mojopac in to a subdirectory of a USB drive.
