Thank you, guys!
Armory has been backed up and uninstalled.
HCP,
I directed bitcoin-qt to go to A:\_Data\Core\blocks. Followed by going to Help -> Debug Window -> Information -> datadir: A:\_Data\Core\blocks.
The blocks folder located here: A:\_Data\Core\blocks is 159GB in size, still, bitcoin core starts synching from 2009...
Is this normal? Or, am I missing something here?
