I am trying to create a symbolic link between 2 folders and receive the following error: "The system cannot find the path specified." What am I doing wrong here?

C:\Windows\system32>mklink /d "X:\DAVID\My Sales\Part Sales" "X:\DAVID\Parts\Parts Sales"

    Hi David,

    The command seems fine to me. Run dir X:\DAVID to check if the path exists on your machine.

    Best Regards,
