Here is the new SSD.
Ignore the next one. The third is the PM destination and the spinner. You’re saying that PM will delete the Toontrack folder and I’ll still have the individual downloads for safety.
I’m just not sure which to keep.

Anyway, once again…thank you Brad! I’m off to Colorado for some shows but will be back Sunday.

Stay in touch if you’d like.

Finally. You’ve been amazing and I owe you a great debt. Thank you, Brad.

Oh yeah…now if I “clean” what will it delete? Installation files, I know but which? Can I safely delete them other than the set I’ll save on my spinner?
The SD3 file size is exactly as you said so there’s nothing there to worry about.

[mes418]

No need to apologize. You’re an angel for hanging in while I create this clusterbang.

So this is PM after I’ve copied over SD3. Not sure why it doesn’t see all the downloads. They’re all on the spinner.
Hopefully it’s easier now but I seem to be good at defeating that lately. Sheesh…so sorry.

Update: Just figured out the paths and things look better. Installing 4 and 5 now. Not holding my breath though.

I know part of the problem is that I deleted the SD3 file on my OSx drive so I’m at square one, even though I have all the downloads.
Can I use the exe. files to install somehow?

Sorry about your dishwasher. We just did it too.

[mes418]

It looks like the “installation” took place without prompts. Can I install the 1-5 using the exe.?
Not sure how to proceed now. I have the 500g drive ready to go but I seem to get more confused with everything that happens here.

[mes418]

Not to keep you going forever but, after copying the SD3 folder to my spinner, PM showed up like this:

[mes418]

Seems so obvious now but oh well. I’ll have a new drive tomorrow and all will be well.
I’m doing what you suggested right now so hopefully I can just move the folder to the new 500g and be ready for SDX action.

Thanks again, Brad!

[mes418]

No, but it’s incomplete. It’s at 225 capacity. If I had installed to my spinner in the first place I could have just moved the folder to the ssd, correct?

[mes418]

Do you know the exact size of the final folder? When I read it was 230 gigs of samples thought I had enough but didn’t account for installation files, I guess.

[mes418]

Hey Brad,
Not starting up again. Just going to get a new, larger SSD. I figured a 250g would do but I should have just gotten a 500g.
4 and 5 won’t install to the drive for lack of space.

Cheers and I hope that glass of red was nice!

[mes418]

You deserve it, brother! Your patience is astounding and your generosity is truly humbling.
All the best to you and yours and, unfortunately, I’ll be around here a lot. Because I’m just a guitar player!!

Be safe, my friend!

[mes418]

And off it goes…you genius you!

So when they’re done, they will install to the ssd and I can lose all the other files because they’re installation files.
Obviously I’m going to keep a complete set to avoid having to re-download.
At the point where I know SD3 runs, can I delete the SD3 folder from my OSx drive? I have to keep the Toontrack folder, I take it.

Hard to believe I actually build my own PC’s, eh?
And you said “Aya”! Takes me back to my childhood in Western New York!!

[mes418]

No, they are not on the SSD. I just hit move downloads for the first time and part 4 prompts “A folder could not be created”.

[mes418]

Sorry if I’m not being clear. PM is not allowing a download even though it’s routed to the spinner.
I understand everything you’re writing to do but just can’t effect it.
Here is what’s on my SSD and the prefs in PM.

I’m so sorry this is such a mess. I don’t blame you if you want to walk away.

[mes418]

Thanks Brad. However I can’t change the path in the installation info. It’s routed to the spinner in prefs but not where I actually click download.
I know it’s still seeing the SSD because it won’t download at all due to the lack of space.
