Instaling Software on Different Drive Locations

[Nobody in particular]

First of all, my apologies if this sounds daft or is a stupid question lol.

I have just installed a new server at work (running Server 03), which is going to be used for a SharePoint Server, it is using a C drive and a E drive (running RAID) I want to know how to install software on the E drive, leaving C free.

Any help is much appriecated

Most installation software allows you to select the installation location m8

If it doesn't then you can usually change the install location with optional parameters ie... /install d:
These are usually specific to the software being installed... I'd google for each application you install.

I think I know what your trying to do..... it's how I've setup the Virtual servers here with the iSCSI SANs.

Everything by default will install to C:\ ..When installing you'll be given the option as to where you want the installl..Just change to the drive of your choice..In your case E:\ simplae as that..

Cheers for the reply folks, unfortunatly, I'm installing SharePoint Services and Search Server - which don't give you an option to change the Drive paths.

Many thanks for that JaLing, even thought that link is quite useful, they are the instructions for SharePoint Server, the installation files for Services are different.

EDIT: Actually I have just found this, it is for the installation of Services

Hopefully, fingers crossed that I will be able to do it now.

Thanks for your help everyone
