	New member, just setting preferences. How do I decide which drive to use? I have the PC's internal drive (C:) and an external one (E:); the internal one is pretty full, which is why I have the external drive. I am invited to allocate up to 100gb, which I have but only on the external drive. Grateful for any advice. Steve

	How much BOINC will actually use depends on the projects you are attached to. If you use only S@H, you will be hard pressed to use more than 50MB. CPDN will push that up to a couple of GB. It will be almost impossible to push the requirements past 10Gb no matter what you do with the current crop of projects. ____________ BOINC WIKI

	OK, to actually answer you question... I believe it would work like this. Uninstall Boinc/S@H Reinstall it and when it installs specify the path installed to be on the drive letter of your external drive (E:\) instead of your C:\ Hope that helps. ____________
