Games Partition

[Dave Routh]

Hi
Am I right in thinking I can set a partitions to have XP on first partition
and have second one to play games on, or do the games need to be on the
system partition, i.e. Ghost Recon, Prince of Persia etc.

Yes you can have a separate partition for games and programs whilst keeping
XP on a another partition. You just have to make sure that the OS is on the
active, bootable partition.

Most games (99.9%) have no trouble with being located on a different
partition to the system.

I consistently do that, e.g. all games get installed to "D:\More Games\"
even though the OS is on C:.

Note : some games still demand they put some files into "Windows installed
folder"\System etc. regardless of where game has been installed to.

.... and some (Halo, Dungeon Siege) will put their saves in your "My
documents" folder, as well...
