Windows 10: Duplicate Windows 11 folders on C: and E: drives

Just did a clean install of my new Windows 11 after having a lot of problems on the first install. I wipped everything off the C: drive before having it formated for the system. I did the install and all seemed fine, have been installing all my programs. Now I just noticed I have duplicate folders on my system C: drive and my data E: drives. The ones on the E: drive seem to be only holding Windows folders/programs/files. see attached screen shot. Everything seems to be working fine otherwise.Never had this happen with Windows 10 or earlier versions... what is going on.. they are just taking up

Addonics Hard Drive Duplicator Lets Users Simultaneously Clone Up to 11 Drives

Addonics Technologies today announced the Addonics 1:11 HDD (Hard Disk Drive) Duplicator, which can copy up to 11 target drives from a single source or duplicate any SATA or IDE HDD drive in a 3.5" or 2.5" form factor. The HDD duplicator is an ideal solution for production or data distribution applications.

The 1:11 HDD duplicator comes in three different models and operates as a stand alone device. No computer or complex software is needed. Simply insert the master drive into the source slot and then insert up to 11 hard drives of equal or larger capacity than the master drive into the duplicator slots. Press the "copy" button on the LCD control module to start the copying process. The 1:11 HDD duplicator supports a maximum copy speed of 300 MB/sec.





The Deluxe and Deluxe-C model allow you to duplicate any 3.5" or 2.5" SATA hard drive. The Deluxe-C is more compact and lighter. Drives are loaded directly into the duplicator. The source or target drive can be either a 3.5" or 2.5" SATA drive using an optional 2.5" drive adapter or SSD.

The PRO model has the flexibility of copying any combination from any 3.5" or 2.5" SATA or IDE hard drive to eleven 3.5" or 2.5" SATA or IDE hard drives using an optional IDE removable drive tray. Drives slide into a removable drive tray with no special tools required. By adding an optional Diamond Cipher drive enclosure, users can easily make backup copies of sensitive data with bullet proof AES-256 bit encryption. The Addonics drive enclosure can also be used as drive sanitization tool to recycle used hard drives.

Prices range from $1,399 for the Deluxe-C model to $1,599 for the PRO model. For more information, visit this page.

 

C drive and Datapart E drive both have user folders

Hi,

I am new to windows 10 and have a new pc that has a hard drive for the OS and software and a hard drive for storage.

The os Drive is called C:\ and the datapart drive is called E:\C\

The OS, when set up, was to allow for software to be installed on C and data placed on E.

My C drive is small, and I want to ensure it does not get overloaded with unnecessary data.

Both drives have a user folder containing the same items (not files, but folders).

For instance, there is a desktop under both drives, the C desktop contains links to what is actual files located on the E desktop.

That is all well and good and I imagine that is how it is supposed to be.

I have a few questions regarding how this is works.

If I create anything on my desktop, it is saved to the C desktop no matter what. Is it possible to get it to map to the E desktop? For instance, when I right click a spot on the desktop and create a new word doc, can it save to E instead of C.....

There are folders (camera roll and saved pictures) in the C desktop pictures folder that are not in the E pictures folder (which contain the every other picture related file I have. Why are these folders not in the E drive if everything else is in there?

Also, my outlook data file saved to the C Documents folder instead of the E Documents folder.

I do not like having duplicate folders, it seems like more maintenance will be necessary in the future.

If anyone can teach me anything about how this all works I would appreciate it.

John
