[GTALUG] Partitioning Question

[Jim Ruxton]

This is what I should have done with the last program I installed which 
was about 13 or 14 GB. Thanks for pointing this out. I may even 
uninstall it and reinstall on D drive. For some reason it never occurred 
to me that I could I could change the path during install to the other 
drive.
