I have 2 drives & want to use my data drive to be the landing site for the project, but it is using my system drive, which apparently doesn't have enough room.

Is there a way to tell it which drive to use?

Thanks!

Yes.

For Windows:
You will need to uninstall BOINC through Add/Remove Programs and reinstall it, then depending on which version of BOINC you use:

BOINC 5, on this screen click the Change... button:



BOINC 6, on this screen click the Advanced button, then change the path to the Data directory (this takes up most of the space, you can leave the path to the BOINC directory intact if you want to):



If you're not using Windows, please specify which OS you do use.
