If not can I somehow force it to use drive D? South Walker MEGA 1999 ID: 1319753 ·

It's something you would have to have done to set it up that way. Grant Darwin NT ID: 1319761 ·

C drive is about to be a SSD and will contain to the extent possible only operating system software. Everything else will be on drive D. Thanks for the reply. South Walker MEGA 1999 ID: 1319764 ·

I just read the notice about a newer version and think I will install it. Thanks . South Walker MEGA 1999 ID: 1319772 ·
