Hello,
I know this is an old thread, but here how I changed all my MetaTrader 5 folders do another hard drive, using Windows Hard Link:
a) Close all your MetaTraders and copy the directory to the new hard drive, using drag-and-drop, like this:
"C:\Users\YOUR-NAME\AppData\Roaming\MetaQuotes" --> "D:\MetaQuotes"
b) rename "C:\Users\YOUR-NAME\AppData\Roaming\MetaQuotes" to "C:\Users\YOUR-NAME\AppData\Roaming\_MetaQuotes" just for a temporary security measure.
c) Run a DOS cmd window as administrator and run this:
mklink /j "C:\Users\YOUR-NAME\AppData\Roaming\MetaQuotes" "D:\MetaQuotes"
d) Test your MetaTraders and if everything good, delete the "C:\Users\YOUR-NAME\AppData\Roaming\_MetaQuotes" folder.
EXCELLENT
