    Directing data to a second drive ?

    To direct data to a second drive I thought you opened File Explorer > This PC > then right clicked (for example) Music > Properties and changed the Location.

    However I can also open File Explorer > This PC > then left click Documents which displays Music along with other the folders.
    1) If I right click the Documents folder & change the Location, will that also change the Music & other folders listed within Documents?
    2) Why are the Music & other folders listed in Documents when they are already listed under This PC?
    File Explorer also shows Music under Quick Access. That’s 3 occurrences I’m looking at. Does it make a difference which one I use to change the Location?

    Recently I came across this method which looks like it does the same thing, but does it?
    How to Change the Default Hard Drive for Saving Documents and Apps in Windows 10

    Some online comments suggested creating a separate folder for each user account and make the new folders as subfolders of the user account folder. I am the only user. Is there some advantage of creating a user folder?

    I've never used a second drive for storage & any suggestions would be appreciated.
    Thanks

    PC freezes every 4 seconds and unfreezes in 1 second after hard drive replacement

    Cannot access my second hard drive in XP

    I just noticed that my second hard drive dissapeared from my computer, i decided to restart the pc hoping it would reappear, it did, however i still can't access it when i try to open it i get the following message: H:\ is not accessible. The file or directory is corrupted and unreadeable. BIOS still sees it, when i restart the PC, it lists both of my hard drives and both optical drives, but i can't open it in Windows.

    This was preceeded by somewhat strange behavior this morning, my PC would not boot into XP and would freeze after the Windows is loading message, i had to restart several times by pushing the restart button to log on. It was somewhat slow at first but after the next restart was back to normal, and then i noticed the missing second HD. I don't even know if its a hardware or a software issue. Can someone help me with this?
