World wide, the local disc is drive C. It is sheer stupidity to have it any
other designation. Just asking for future
problems is what it amounts to.


You are certainly entitled to that opinion, although I don't
appreciate the rudeness with which you expressed it.

However I strongly disagree. I certainly don't suggest that anyone
should purposely choose to install on a drive other than C:, but if
turns out that way, there is hardly ever a good reason to go to the
trouble of changing it.

Ken:
I most certainly don't dispute your right (or anyone else's right for
that
matter) on this or any other forum to state your view. I fully understand
that you disagree with my point of view. So be it. I was merely
responding
to your previous post and hopefully clarifying my position re this issue.


OK, understood.

And I'll add that although we disagree on this point, I usually agree
with most of your other posts and I think you generally post very good
advice.

Ken:
Without belaboring the issue I can only repeat what I've stated in
my
last
post.

The problems we've run into re this issue along the lines I've
described
involving many, many users over the years in an XP environment have
impressed us to strongly suggest that, wherever practical, the user
should
establish his/her system (boot) disk as the C: drive even if it
means
a
fresh install of the OS.

OK. We clearly disagree.

I recommend that he stay with the setup he presently has, since
there
is no downside to it. The OP can decide for himself which advice he
wants to follow.

Ken:
As I explained (or try to explain) in my previous posts, based upon
our
fairly extensive experience with thousands of users over the years in
an
XP
environment, there certainly is a "downside" - at least a
substantially
potential one - in one's system (boot) drive being designated with a
drive
assignment letter other than C:.


Anna, I've stated my view, and don't want to repeat myself further. We
disagree.

I don't dispute your right to your opinion. Please allow me mine. As I
said, the OP can decide for himself whom he wants to believe and what
he wants to do.
