Disk Allocation? Does not change in window? No pop-up?

Hi, I am trying to change the disk allocation of a track. Windows LE 002 Rack. I open the disk allocation window and see that the track is allocated and I try to double click the Root Media Folder column but nothing happens. No pop up window for Disk Allocation. I try the custom configuration down below but it does seem to change the disk allocation for the track either. What am I doing wrong? It keeps using the root drive and I can't change it. Thanks, Dean

I had the same problem, just figured this out, in case anybody has future trouble. I found i have to click and HOLD DOWN the mouse button for a second or 2, and then I get a drop-down to select a different location.

Actually, I just had this, but it was even more temperamental. I had to hold down my left button and then scroll with my wheel. I'm using a Kensignton Mouse, but that shouldn't really change behaviour like that. At least, I've never known anything else to misinterpret it so. All to say, you may need to do some weird stuff in this window. (BEWARE OF IMPENDING SOAPBOX...here it comes...) As others have said, I find Disk Allocation relentlessly frustrating. If I use an existing session as a basis for a new session on a different hard drive, why oh why does it make the session folder on the new drive but leave the Disk Allocation (the Audio Files folder) to the old drive? Why doesn't it default to updating it? Or at least have us be able to choose it as a preference? I've wasted so many hours of the past nineteen ProTools years on this counter-intuitve default. And, while on the subject, why, if I redirect the location once in Disk Allocation, can it not remember that location the next time I open the Disk Allocation location selection? Wish that stuck.
