my umbraco ver is 7.0.2

The following is the standard setup:

<Provider alias="media" type="Umbraco.Core.IO.PhysicalFileSystem, Umbraco.Core">
    <Parameters>
        <add key="virtualRoot" value="~/media/" />
    </Parameters>
</Provider>

I would like to be able to do something like this to point the media library to a different location:

<Provider alias="media" type="Umbraco.Core.IO.PhysicalFileSystem, Umbraco.Core">
    <Parameters>
        <add key="virtualRoot" value="D:\Umbraco\media\" />
    </Parameters>
</Provider>

I tried it but invalid, is there something wrong?

Thanks a lot in advance

The above link to proworks is broken. Can't see the solution.
