I installed windows XP on a small drive (2gb) and I have an 80gb secondary. The problem is now when I try to patch a game for example, it takes up all the space in the temporary file. I guess when the installer runs it uses space on that drive (the small one) I would like to know how I can tell windows it can use space on the other drive.
Thanks in advance,
Kriss

You are killing your performance running Windows off that old drive.

I normally do not suggest solutions you have to pay for, but this is an exception. You really should clone the small drive to the large one, and the easiest way to do that is with a disk imaging program that will handle the cloning and then expand the partition, for example acronis trueimage

The problem is that drive is bound to be a) slow and b) small memory. Even if you redirectyour temp folders.

Not knowing how the game patches it is difficult ot guess what you could try.
