  1. Can't install some programs to D Drive? (Chrome to D Drive)?


    I have a 120GB M.2 PCIE and I want it reserved for windows 10 and it's updates, which is C Drive

    But I want to install Adobe in my 1 2TB HDD,which is D Drive.

    I've made the folders for Program Files and Program Files (x86)

    I've divided the 2TB So I have 2 different partitions.

    D & E

    I noticed when i change the directory on some programs to D:\ it still goes into C Drive which is what i don't want. Help?

    I've look into the chrome D drive installation but it's not a lot of help.

    I've even changed the default Reg Keys so that the default location is D drive.

    And yet Adobe CC and some other programs still, after I've changed the installer directortry path manually to D still installs on C. I've already made a folder for D and renamed them but no luck.

    D Drive Installation

    I need to install my programs to the D Drive but I'm uncertain of all the procedures I should take before starting that process.

    I think the drive is ready to go but I still have questions like

    Should I create a Programs folder for the D Drive and do I just select the D drive for all installation options. Like Installation and folders and etc .....

    Do I need to change the storage options or create my own My Documents on the D Drive.

    For Example - My 3D software loads my content into My Documents. I guess I can re direct these files to the D Drive also ?

    I guess it shouldn't be rocket science but I just haven't installed programs off the c drive before.

    Do you have Any Suggestions , tips or tutorials you can recommend ?

  3. D drive

    Hi,

    Based on the details you have provided us, it appears that there might be some corrupted contents on the said partition. We can also consider that this is caused by a virus.

    For us to check if a certain virus is hiding your files, kindly follow the steps below:

    • Type Command prompt in the search bar.
    • Type-in the following command:

      attrib -h -r -s /s /d D:\*.*
    • Press Enter to execute the command.

    If you think that there is nothing important stored in it, then we suggest that you reformat your D drive so that you can use the free space for important files.

    You can follow the steps below to start with the process:

    • Click on the File Explorer.
    • Select This PC.
    • Right-click on your D drive, then click on Format.
    • Follow the on-screen process to finish formatting the partition.

    Let us know how it goes so that we can further assist you.
