...Is it OK to move all of Sonar's files to another drive?...

 
The application itself needs to remain in the place where it was installed.

So, what else have you moved off the C-drive so far? Projects? Multisamples?

You haven't answered any of my questions in my response above.  Until you do so.. not sure what else I can do for you.  Good luck.

easiest way... create a symbolic link on your c-drive (named as the original location) that points to your new location.
So, let's say it used to be c:\drumFiles, which you copied to e:\drumfiles, open a command prompt, and type the following command:
 
mklink /d c:\drumfiles e:\drumfiles
 
Make sure the C:\drumfiles directory isn't on your drive anymore before you run the above command. If your names included spaces, put the location in quotes (eg mklink /d "c:\drum files" "e:\drum files")
 
Your pc will act as if the files are still where they used to be, while in reality they are stored in their new location.
So, no need to tell sonar where to find them, as for Sonar, they haven't moved...

forgot to mention one thing.. You need to open a command prompt as administrator (right click - run as administrator) as it needs elevated priviliges...

Thank you all, again, for your patience and help.  Because I learned there is no way to undo a command prompt that is done wrong, I've decided to put some of my audio library back onto my C drive and live with it that way.  I can always drag and drop a specific audio file into Sonar anyway if I need it.
 
Until next time, All The Best!

As noted above and in another recent thread, the Command Center downloaded files on drive C: are a place to weed.

Thanks for the reminder, riojazz.   I clean out as much as I can from the command center downloads.
