Why shouldn't the user choose? Back when I had my PC, I used to keep only the OS and a few other stuff (AV, .NET framework, etc) on my C drive. D was for another OS. E was for data (pics, documents, etc). F was for applications. G was for music, H for CD dumps, and I for games (not that I played any, but my brother used to). That was just the Windows partitions. I also had Linux. ;P
Cheers, Vikram.

I am not saying that the user should not choose. I was asking why he wanted to change the drive.

If it's their natural place, then why would other "sane" applications give us a chance to select the target location? And dont you find it rude if it starts to run the progress bar without asking anything for a courtesy? :| .Btw,Yup I'm running out of space on that drive. :sigh:.

That's a nightmare. Once re-installed my OS just because I had the system partition set to 30 GB only and I was running out of space. These days I keep at least 40 GB for system drive: OS and "installable" applications.

hmm and you know IMHO, I feel it's a sin to install junks like Ymsgr in the System drive. Few unavoidable things like the windows-patches,hotfixes are going to making things on their own. We cannot question them unfortunately. but things like messengers should ask for the option. :sigh:.

Once I had a separate HDD for the OS. Actually separating the OS from the application would certainly improve the situation, since the track & head jumps would be minimal. But one of the HDD wasn't healthy enough to cope up with. It started crashing. I removed it later.:sigh:

No, it's great, but the "install experience" is... errr... ehm... what I have come to expect from Windows Installer.

Indeed, I did so a couple months ago. The install definitely falls into the WTF category. Tech support was unsympathetic; pathetic perhaps, but not sympathetic.

:laugh: Seriously, I've never enjoyed computer games except the AoE series. I don't find pumping bullets into people or driving cars over pedestrians appealing.
