Hi,

I've got a big hard drive that's partitioned into a smallish C: partition and a huge D: partition. BOINC seems to want to force its installation & the subsequent project data/executables onto the C: drive, with the inevitable result (when participating in CPDN) that my C: drive fills up & causes BOINC to start rejecting work.

Does anybody know of a way to get BOINC to use an alternate directory for either the project data or "the whole enchilada"? I'm using the Windows version, obviously.

Thanks for your help,

Drew

Stop BOINC from running.

Uninstall BOINC.

Move the whole BOINC folder (with all subdirectories included) to the other harddrive. (Do NOT Delete anything!)

Reinstall BOINC.
When at this screen:

Press the Change button.

When at this screen:

Press the down arrow at the top, browse to your destination folder (thus the one you just moved Boinc to) and press OK.

When at this screen:

Check that you are pointing at the correct folder and press Next.

You will now install Boinc to that folder on that drive.

Ageless,

Thanks very much--I didn't think it would be so easy to do, but that definitely did the trick. I would have preferred to have a setting within BOINC Manager to point it at a different data directory (I like to keep apps & data segregated), but this will do just fine.

Thanks again,

Drew
