I am trying to create a hardlink on my C drive that points to a file on my D drive. I open up a terminal with Administrator privileges and try the following:

C:\Users\sandro>mklink /H _vimrc D:\sandro-desktop\.vimrc

The error that I get is: The system cannot move the file to a different disk drive.

When I try a softlink I get the issue that for some reason changes to the link contents aren't reflected on the targeted file.

Thank you!
