I realize that I am one of the least experienced computer jockey’s of PcTechTalk (that’s why I’m here...lol). This story I’m about to relate will prolly have most of you rolling your eyes but here goes…
I took Cirga’s advice and partitioned off my OS (I gave it lot’s of elbow room, 10 gigs), with visions of installing all of my apps on a different partition (I set aside another 10 gigs for this purpose...elbow room, ya know).
Well… here’s a lesson learned.
Do not install your programs to an empty partition without putting some sub-folders in place first. Or you’ll end up with a mess of files, all in alphabetical order (it was ghastly) strewn all throughout the partition (th-th-they were all mixed up, the HORROR the HORROR)
So the moral is … forethought is a good thing, place your folders and sub-folders in the drive you are installing to first, so you have a target for your programs and waaa-laaa everything is neat-O
