Good morning. I'm sure some of you will find this question trivial but I am a network person and work in a Cisco enviornment and not so much with PC's. My question is this:
I recently built a new computer with a 120gb sdd (C) and two 500gb (D)which I mirrored. I installed Windows 7 64-bit onto the sdd. On initial boot my computer was at the login screen within 5 seconds or so. My initial hopes for this setup was to be able to keep Windows isolated ont the sdd and install all other programs on the D:. Items such as games, network tools, even my regular documents and pictures. However, I recently installed Crysis 3 and set it to install on the D: drive; well I found game files on my C: drive. Is there a way to stop this cross installation or make it so my C: cannot be written to. It is only a 120gb sdd and after three game installations I only have about 40gb left. On top of that my boot time has increased to about a minute. Any help would be much appreciated. Thank you.
In addition to this I am currently in the process of building a full flight simulator and need this computer to run everything as I used to have two computers networked together running the sim. What I want to do is purchase another 500gb hdd to install Microslop (Miscrsoft) Flight Sim X onto...However, Flight Sim X is a virus as no matter what drive you say to install it on it will put itself onto every drive you have connected including external devices. Is there a way to ensure that this program and all the drivers install to the new 500gb hdd only? Thanks again.
