Hello, I recently installed a second 30 gig hard drive ("Drive D") on my Pentium 2 puter. It originally had a 2 gig hard drive ("Drive C"), which is still running on the system. The second drive was set up using "cable select". When I put new programs on the machine, the settings automatically go to "C Drive/Program files". (I assume this happens because all the Windows files are on Drive C, where the operating sytem was installed.) Since I have so much space on Drive D (30gb); --CAN I DIRECT/RUN CERTAIN PROGRAMS TO/FROM A NEW FOLDER ON DRIVE D? (My concern is that I am going to eventually expire the space on Drive C and might also inadvertantly activate my "System Restore"; I am already down to around 550MB of space on Drive C and Sytem Restore is set for 400MB.) --WILL A NEW PROGRAM RUN JUST AS WELL WHEN INSTALLED ON DRIVE D, AS IT WOULD ON DRIVE C? **Also, being that Drive D is essentially one big empty space and there is no sub-folder system on Drive D,(like Drive C's Windows Explorer/"program files", etc.);--CAN I/SHOULD I SET UP SOME TYPE OF FOLDER/SUB-FOLDER SYSTEM ON DRIVE D TO ORGANIZE IT? (for example a "program files" folder?). WOULD I AVOID ALOT OF HASSLE IF I EVENTUALLY JUST DITCHED THE 2 GIG DRIVE AND REINSTALLED THE OS ON THE 30 GIG?...(or is there some advantage in keeping the OS on the 2 gig?) Any help is greatly appreciated... Thank you...Mark122

Yes you should be able to set up a directory structure on your new drive (assuming it is formatted). Use Windows Explorer to do this. I would recommend something like 'Program Files', 'Games', 'Documents', etc (whatever you feel like. When installing a new program just select the correct directory on D: and away you go :-)

why bother? set ur 30G as the C:, install a fresh windows on it then put the 2gig as a slave and move files that r inportant to u (music/video etc). Then format the 2Gig and there u go.. use it to back up any important data. This is the best thing u could ever do:D

hello anther solution is use norton ghost to clone your old drive to the new one.than set new drive as master and old as slave now m.e will have 30 gigs.
