My C drive is too small to install ESO. How do I install the game on my D drive?

goatlyonesub17_ESO✭✭✭✭I might discover that there's another big download after this 36600 MB download gets finished. I wouldn't be a bit surprised."Argonians have fat, scaly tails." —Rissa Manyclaws.

goatlyonesub17_ESO✭✭✭✭So I have to follow the trail of every previous imperfect version of ESO in order to arrive, eventually, at the current imperfect version of the game. I should have guessed."Argonians have fat, scaly tails." —Rissa Manyclaws.

goatlyonesub17_ESO✭✭✭✭Okay. Either way, though, it means that the trip back will be longer than is shown in the graph. I'll have to think of a way to represent the extension of the journey."Argonians have fat, scaly tails." —Rissa Manyclaws.

But if you plug an SD card into your computer or into an external reader via USB, you get some higher letter assigned to it: F, J, K... never an A or a B. That's just wasting letters, if you ask me.
It's a (very) outdated convention.
Back in ye olde days computers didn't have built in hard drives, just 1 or 2 floppy disk drives (and these were actually floppy, not the ones in solid plastic cases) so the main one that you'd run programs from was the A drive, and then you'd sometimes have a B drive too so you could save or copy data.
When internal hard drives came along they were first used on that type of computer and the existing drives were already commonly referred to by their letters so the internal drive became C. And that set-up stuck around just long enough for the name to stick before the internal drive became the main one, the A drive became primarily a way of installing programs and copying data and the B drive disappeared all together.
But it's possible to assign any letter to any drive. My computer actually does have an A and B drive, because I wanted to assign permanent letters to 2 external drives and it bothered me that those letters weren't being used. But when I get around to buying an SSD I want to reorganise so the main internal drive is A, the second one is B and so on in what I think is a sensible order.
Or I might copy my friend whose main drive is Z and all the rest are labelled in reverse alphabetical order, just to be different.PC EU player | She/her/hers | PAWS (Positively Against Wrip-off Stuff) - Say No to Crown Crates!

goatlyonesub17_ESO✭✭✭✭I wonder if my computer has a SATA III port besides the one used by the teeny tiny 128 GB SSD it uses as a C drive. I haven't even cracked open the case yet. I just plugged in the cables and turned it on. If I have a free SATA III port, I'll buy a 1 TB SSD and plug it in there."Argonians have fat, scaly tails." —Rissa Manyclaws.

goatlyonesub17_ESO✭✭✭✭Captain's Log. Stardate 2457477.237. I have recently learned that the present journey is but one leg of a significantly longer trek across the dataverse. After we arrive at where ESO was in the beginning, we will have to travel along the path of the subsequent updates, until we arrive at ESO's present location in the galaxy. I can now only guess at our estimated time of arrival, but it might be late on April 3rd.Edited by goatlyonesub17_ESO on April 1, 2016 2:54PM"Argonians have fat, scaly tails." —Rissa Manyclaws.

goatlyonesub17_ESO✭✭✭✭Captain's Log. Stardate 2457478.237. We have about one and a half days to go in this first leg, and then we will be were the ESO system was in the beginning. Then comes the update. Although I have no certainty about how long the update leg of our travels will be, I expect it to be at least half as long as the first part.Edited by goatlyonesub17_ESO on March 31, 2016 12:09PM"Argonians have fat, scaly tails." —Rissa Manyclaws.

Captain's Log, addendum: A bosmer crew member on the bridge, after hearing me record my log entry just now, asked "Isn't this exciting?" He pronounced that last word as "ex-sah-ting."
