I am wondering how to put a cd right to the second drive. Every time you install a cd it automatically goes to the c drive. How do I make it go to the other hard drive. There must be an easy way. Please help me out with this wwwfluffy@new.rr.com I had some answers before about this but I don`t understand what to do so please help me out in an easier way of doing it.

The installer program on the CD (and most any software) defaults to the C: drive.

You need to monitor the install process. Most installers allow you to change the drive or install path before the files are placed on your PC.

I have run into a few programs that ONLY run from the C: drive.

PC Magazine has a free utility called COA32 (sorry, no URL) which means Change Of Address. For those installers that won't let you specify a location, install as usual then copy the folder to the new location, run COA32, reboot, and delete the old location.
