How do I assign an alternate drive for BOINC to use for data file storage? Many thanks ... ID: 34614 ·

On the 3rd screen, in the bottom right hand corner is a button labelled Advanced. Click this, and you'll get an additional screen which allows you to specify the drives for the 2 parts of BOINC, and a few other items. ID: 34615 ·
