Why can't I specify the root of a hard drive as the Media folder?

MediaEngine Official FAQ - MP3Car.com
When we first started writing MediaEngine, you could do this, but we found that people were specifying C:\ as the media folder, and that was causing MediaEngine to search through EVERYTHING (windows, temporary internet files, etc) for media files. This would cause MediaEngine to slow to a crawl and become unusable. Thus, we force the user to choose a directory that is at least one sub directory down from the root of any drive to avoid this issue.

You may get the message "Cannot play copy protected files". DVD production has two basic phases: development and replication.

Can I scrub just a file, a folder, or the empty space on a hard drive?

Jiiva
Scrubbing parts of a disk is not as safe as scrubbing the entire drive. For example, many applications utilize temporary and backup files while they are running. If you scrub a file you were just working on, it is highly possible that the data still exists on your hard drive because of a temporary or backup file used by the software you were running. See our other product AutoScrubber for a solution to this problem.

But the image is on my hard drive, can't I upload it or something?

There are ways to do that, but I decided not to.

You will have to find web space or get it to another forum user who will display it for you. Don't ask me.
