EDIT: FIXED!!! but question: the total storage needed is around 40 gigs right? the blockchain and the armory database?

Hi all,

I am pulling my hair here trying to get my armory database moved. I have read endless threads / troubleshooting and tried everything and just cannot get it to work. Please help!

I want to get the database and blockchain on a 2nd HD my D:\ drive

Here is what I did:

1) downloaded bitcoinqt and ran it

2) downloaded the blockchain to my 2nd HD: D:\bitcoin\

3) installed armory database

4) went to settings and changed "bitcoin install dir" to D:\bitcoin

5) changed bitcoin home dir to d:\bitcoin

6) re-ran armory, it worked just fine. I then went to c:\users\amob\appdata\roaming\armory\databases and found 20 gigs there!

7) after much research it looked like I needed to run a command prompt line with my shortcut so I did:
D:\Bitcoin\Armory\ArmoryQt.exe  --datadir="d:\bitcoin\armory”

yes that is two spaces between armoryqt.exe and the two dashes

the databases on C:\ will not move!!!

Please help me . I do not know what I am doing wrong!

Also with the armory database and blockchain, I am guessing the total GB is around 40? Is this right?

Thank you!!

edit: I have also tried D:\Bitcoin\Armory\ArmoryQt.exe  --dbdir="d:\bitcoin\armory”

edit2: it was the double space issue between the exe and two dashes. Wow all that time wasted for nothing. Sorry guys. I guess I have only one question: the total storage needed is around 40 gigs right? the blockchain and the armory database?
