It's not clear what point you're trying to make here, but...

The Music Maker program must be installed on your default drive.  The soundpools and arrangement files can be installed on any drive you wish.

Thanks for the quick response.

6 gig Music Maker + 6 gig Soundpool + 6 gig Soundpool 18 = 18 gig which is a big slice of 120 gig C drive - especially considering I have 2 terabytes  on other drives. At least I can move 12 gig elsewhere.

 

Regards

Brian

"At least I can move 12 gig elsewhere."

Yes you can.  In fact it's a very good idea.  That way you'll have TWO hard drives that can work independently at the same time, which will decrease your access time and make the program run smoother.  If it was all on one hard drive, it would have to run the program AND try to read media files at the same time - not a good situation.

The only issue is that when you copy/move the media files to another drive, you will need to clear the soundpools and reload them from their new location.  Not a big deal, but something you need to know.

FINAL SOLUTION

This statement is an error :-

 I missed the fact that there is a "Custom" option at the beginnning of the installation process which allows installation on any drive.

I was able to copy the soundpool files from the CDs to the drive of my choice and use the Music Maker menu import option as suggested.
