When installing software the Install Wizard should take you through a few confirmation question steps (where people just click NEXT, NEXT, OK, NEXT.)
One of these questions will be choose an Installation Path or Destination Folder (or simliar).
At this point, the default 'path'or (directory where software will be installed) will say something like "C:\Program Files\(name of program....).
You may be able to just change the C to a D (if your 2nd drive is D)if the path is greyed out, you willprobably see a 'Browse' button.
Clicking this button will open an Explorer Type window that lets you navigate to the drive or folder you want to install to. Just choose the 2nd drive and a folder to dump all the files into and your done.
If you still need help, fell free to email me at ozmedia@excite.com
Good luck,

When you say you put a CD in, I assume you mean installing software, is
that right?
or Do you mean a music CD?
What operating system is it again?
If you can give me aspecific example, ie. Installing Microsoft Office it
would be very helpful.
