When i was trying to move the virtual drives into my external hard disk (following this post: http://www.playonlinux.com/en/forum-74-General_discussion.html) I copied the files over as specified, and deleted the original folder with the rm -rf command. But after i tried to use the ln -s command on the wineprefix folder i was told it doesnt exist (cuz i deleted it) and i couldn't finish the Symlink process. Why was i told to delete the folder after copying it if id need it? But now im stuck because i have no virtual drive foler apart from the one I copied into my external HDD. Therefore i can't install ANYTHING on POL. Please help, these problems are quite hard to find the qnswers to...

Oh and if possible can someone walk me through that post? No mater how i try i cant understand it...
