Just generate the plot on the 2nd hard drive and then make a simple shortcut on the miner "plots" folder
FYI, a regular shortcut works with Linux but in Windows you need to use a symbolic link or you'll get errors.

Hey guys, is it possible to mine with 2 different hard disks in one pc with a single miner as a single plot? If yes how we do it? How to create plot for that miner? Anyone know any guide on this? Please help me guys. 
Yes, you just need to generate the plot on the second hard disk, and then softlink it to the "plots" folder on the hdd when the miner is running,

The Windows version is already pre-compiled into an EXE and is ready to rock out of the box...
The instructions to "install msys/mingw" are to compile the exe yourself from the source code.
Long story short, just open a command prompt and do a "CD" to the folder you extracted it to (that contains the EXE file) and run the file with the desired arguments.

Here is a better guide on How to use the Windows GPU Plotter:
1) The GPU Plotter is archived in a .7z file, so you will need to Download and install 7-zip to be able to extract it (if you don't already have it):
http://www.7-zip.org/download.html
2) Download the (Windows) GPU plot generator v2.0.0:
https://mega.co.nz/#!2BNDXY4L!jgwHDZXDJyFp2Jg5mN8sxtpplgXEInSMf1cQGbPc5lM
3) Right-click & extract the "gpuPlotGenerator-bin-win-x86-2.0.0.7z" file and select 7-zip -> extract to "gpuPlotGenerator-bin-win-x86-2.0.0\"
4) open the newly created "gpuPlotGenerator-bin-win-x86-2.0.0" folder
5) In an empty space within the "gpuPlotGenerator-bin-win-x86-2.0.0" folder do the following:
Hold down the "shift" key and right-click in an empty spot. Select "Open command window here"
(Note: the "Open command window here" option is only available if you hold Shift and Right-Click)
(Alternatively, you could just open a command window manually and do a "CD" to the folder containing the gpuPlotGenerator.exe file)
6) find the GPU's Platform and Platform ID:
gpuPlotGenerator.exe list platforms
(Note down the "ID" number for the proper device platform, this will be
7) Find the DeviceID of the device to use:
gpuPlotGenerator.exe list devices
(Note down the "ID" number for the proper device to use, this will be
Type the desired plot information:gpuPlotGenerator.exe generate
As an example, this is the command that I used on my AMD Radeon 7800:
gpuPlotGenerator.exe generate 0 0 "C:\Plots" 11111222223333344444 14670000 7335000 1000 64 1024
These directions are better than nothing, but I still start to lose it on step 6. Where the hell am I supposed to find these ID numbers and why can't the damn program find them on its own? And in the above example, it seems that a pair of zeroes are used for these purposes? WTF?
And as shown in step 8 - go into more detail about how and why each character, symbol, and space was typed. Define what each group of numbers is and what I'd want to write there for use on a 7950 / 270X / 280X. I need pictures and words and arrows! To install it on 7 64 bit.
These instructions seem to work but my GPU is not listed... I have an R9 290, do i need to change drivers? OpenCL was downloaded and installed but I dont understand the readme where it says change the path....
Any help is appreciated
anyone???

Yes, you just need to generate the plot on the second hard disk, and then softlink it to the "plots" folder on the hdd when the miner is running,
Google mklink command for help - you're creating a "Symbolic Link".
Basic usage is open the command prompt as an administrator and use this format:
Code:
mklink "Drive:\path\to\folder\fileNameForShortcut" "Drive:\path\to\actual\file\fileNameOfFile"
You'll want to make this shortcut in the plots folder of the miner you will be running. So if you have your miner and first plot on your D: drive and your second plot is on your E: drive it would look something like this:
Code:
mklink "D:\poc_pool_minerv1\plots\4578973_0_100000" "E:\poc_pool_minerv1\plots\4578973_100001_200000"
That will put a Symbolic Link to the "200000" plot in the plots folder in the D:\ drive.
It's just a tedious way to make a fancy-ass shortcut.

not recommended due to "failed to submit share" error. cause of high pool load i think.
Does someone know how to run the burst-pool by uray? I downloaded the source but I dont know how to run it.

Thanks Bipben for the GPU generator and your hard work! I've gone ahead and doubled your burst wallet balance for you.
Wow! Thanks a lot for your support
I will continue to enhance the plot generator. The next version will be centered on performance.
Some people pointed out that it would be great to be able to split the work between many graphic cards. I will add this feature to the roadmap.
v.2.0.0 seems solid, thanks....
Also, could you explain the relationship of the stagger size/hashes ratio? It was kind of vague to understand it.
There is no relationship between the two.
The
The
Example : ./gpuPlotGenerator 0 0
-> Creating generation buffer ((PLOT_SIZE + 16) * staggerSize)
-> Creating result buffer (PLOT_SIZE * staggerSize)
-----> Generating 10 (staggerSize) nonces (from 0 to 9)
-> Step1: Buffer initialisation spread on
-> Step2:
-> Computing 400 hashes spread on
-> Computing 400 hashes spread on
-> ...
-> Step3: reordering scoops : moving them from the generation buffer to the result buffer
-> Writing nonces to disk
-----> Generating 10 (staggerSize) nonces (from 10 to 19)
... and so on
As you can see, without the reordering process, we should be able to reduce the amount of memory needed by the plot generation (or at least scaling it as we want without any impact in the mining) and greatly enhance its parallelization. Postponing this step could greatly improve the whole generation process but will increased I/O operations. I will make different versions to test some ideas on that matter.
Also, I will try to lighten has much as possible the step2 kernel processing to increase the nonces/minutes.
Just seen this message, I dont think its my .bat file because when i do the list platformId command, my GPU doesnt show up there either only my CPU. Im still trying to setup my bat file...

Your payment of 75,000 BURST has been sent, but it doesn't seem the block explorer has caught up quite yet.
When you receive, would you be so kind as to give me + trust?
Community, if it isn't too much too ask, would you also give me + trust when you see the transaction on the block explorer?
Thanks!

Every question you just asked is literally answered in the post that you quoted -.-
Where the hell am I supposed to find these ID numbers
Do step 5.
Run command in step 6.
Run command in step 7.
and why can't the damn program find them on its own?
It does. You are writing the program to instruct the .exe
And as shown in step 8 - go into more detail about how and why each character, symbol, and space was typed. Define what each group of numbers is
Maybe only I can see it but the first thing twig did in Step 8 was...to define each parameter -.-
