My set up is:

1 500 gig HD
2 36 gig Raptors(running as RAID so it makes up 1 72gig HD)
Using RAID-0

i want to do everything with the 500 gig and run games with the 72 gig.

right now in order for me to do to play a game on the 72 gig, ive got to restart the comp, go into the BIOS and change the MASTER to the 72gig and than play again, than to go back to the 500 gig ive got to restart the computer go into BIOS and switch it back to the 500gig, than i can use my 500gig again.

is there a way i can run the game program from the 72gig, while remaining using the the 500gig?

for instance booting up on the 500gig, but starting the game and playing on it from the 72 gig, without having to reboot and change all those settings?

thanks in advance.

wrong forum buddy, this is comments and feedback, this needs to be general hardware/storage

and yes, you can play the game from a different hdd then your windows boot hdd. if its already installed, you'd need to reinstall onto the 72g hdd or edit the registry entries and move the files.

srry thought i was in the right forum, i got the game installed on the other hdd, so do i just go to E:\ (to the game exe) and launch it?

C:\ is 500 hdd
E:\ is 72 hdd

Control Panel/Administrator Tools/Computer Management then go down to Disk Management, and make sure all of your disks are "active" partitions, your registry might not see it as an active partition on the drive.

If the drive is showing up in your windows explorer, why don't you just change the install directory to your e: drive when it asks you during installation?

just install it on the E drive while you're on the main 500 g drive, while installing the game, just change the directory that its installed to, to one of the directories on the E drive.
