Windows with a small system drive

[weeble]

Does Robert read this board? He was struggling to install a Battlefield 2 patch, and while it might just have been badly coded free-space detection, I suspect he was having problems because Windows insists on keeping Documents and Settings on the system drive, into which installers will cheerfully throw gigabytes of temporary files. Anyway, this article covers moving "Documents and Settings" and "Program Files" to another drive, then linking them up with NTFS junctions. Bear in mind that both drives must be NTFS. Also, not a good idea if you want to be able to pull out the second drive and run without it.

Thanks Weeble, Ill give this a look at trying to sort some of my other problems. Its not an extraction problem as changing the temporary directory fixed that it managed to fully extract and run which it hadnt managed to do before so the patch did extract. i may consider setting this up to solve other problems though

thanks
