Just to check - did you confirm that it worked on your C: drive (I’m assuming yes - but given you’ve had to cobble together a running version, its worth making sure to you have a good baseline). I’m on OSX but don’t have a separate drive - so I haven’t notice that (I guess if I plugged in a portable drive, I could try that).
