Problems with the Windows version of XAMPP, questions, comments, and anything related.

I am running XAMPP for Windows in a 6GB virtual machine with 1.5GB left. I would like to put the MYSQL databases on another drive (that I mapped as "V:"). I read on MYSQL's web site that I could change the database location by editing the My.cnf file as follows. Didn't work.
Any suggestions?
# The MySQL server
[mysqld]
port= 3306
socket= "C:/xampp/mysql/mysql.sock"
basedir="C:/xampp/mysql"
tmpdir="V:/xampp/tmp"
datadir="V:/xampp/mysql/data"
Many thanks in advance.

The connection to the drive and the mapping must be established BEFORE you start the MySQL Server. This is usually NOT the case if you start MySQL as a service (because services are started before drives are mapped).

Thank you, Nobbie for your prompt and curteous reply.
The "V:" drive is automatically mapped when I start the VM instance.
Any other thoughts or ideas, anyone?

(that I mapped as "V:")
What does you exactly mean with "is mapped"?
