Changing install path?
I want to keep my O.S. on the local C and install everything but drivers and security to a seperate HDD.I have been able to get a few programs in and one game to work right but so far everything else runs slow or has addressing and reg errors.I have an O.S. installed on the second HDD as well because nothing would run before when it was empty.Do i dual boot and install everything onto the second HDD and then boot-up on my c: and create shortcuts?I just want to access everything from my local without slowing down my computer with a half terebyte of games.
Because I want a fresh O.S. at all times with out using virtual PC.
I have no problem installing programs on another drive.Regedit allows you to even change the default drive path.It's getting them to open up with out either timing out or reg errors.

What you are doing would cause your system to go slower than simply installing everything on the same HDD. Why don't you just get the HDD with bigger capacity, and install your OS and Apps there, and have the other serve as a repository for documents, images, videos, installers, and whatnots?
I think that would be a faster solution, with no addressing or reg errors like you mentioned.

Your computer is a total mess, unless you are using two DIFFERENT OS's. Remove the OS from the second drive if it's the same version used on your C: Drive, that's causing a problem. One OS one Computer. Unless you are using Dual Boot to use two different OS's.Try Partitioning your hard drive(s) with Partition Magic 8.0. Not all software gives you the option of installing it on anything but the C: Drive, those that do are fine to install on any other drive. They will make their own shortcuts (normally). I try to keep only my OS on the C: Drive and everything else possible in another partition or hard drive.

yer going about it the wrong way. if you were a computer how would you like to search two hard drives for bits and peices of a program. programs go on main drive, files go second drive.
