I downloaded the entire Bitcore block data - 124 Gb.  I am now able to see my transactions in Armory (which I couldn't before the download).  I moved my Data to a USB drive because of its size.  I used (G:\Bitcoin\bitcoin-qt.exe -datadir=g:\BitcoinData) in the Bitcoin target command to recognize the data area, which worked and kept the data off my small operating drive.  When I start Armory, however, I get an error message that it has lost connection with Bitcoin Core client.  When I start Bitcoin Core up it acts as though there is no data and starts re-loading the data (3+ days).  I am unable to send coins from my Armory wallet because the Armory software shuts down.

Thanks for any help.
