GUIMINER specified data directory does not exist

So I want to mine solo with guiminer and bitcoin core and i set the bitcoin data directory to the blocks folder in the bitcoin core client but when i run launch as server it says F:\bitcoin\blocks does not exist. I think this is because I have bitcoin core and guiminer on a different harddrive because my ssd which has windows on it and only 128 gb is full. But it keeps saying it doesn't exist. Please help

You need to set the data directory to be the folder that contains the blocks folder.

GUIminer is so old and dead code that it can't even solo mine to the current bitcoin core. Don't waste your time as CPU and GPU mining bitcoin is basically defunct and pointless with no real meaningful way to even try doing it any more.

You didn't read the fundamental component: You cannot mine with guiminer to current bitcoin core any more. It doesn't have code to support the mechanism used to communicate with current bitcoin core to mine.
