I'm afraid to ask but am hoping someone has overcome this apparent
problem. City Navigator 2009 appears to only install on the C drive
and requires 7+ GB of hard drive space. I have a very small C drive
with only my Windows install there. No prompts for alternate drive,
you're just launched into the install and hit "NEXT" a few times.
Great for newbies but horrible if you actually organized your Windows
machine to manage hard drive space.
Anyone out there have any luck installing to an alternate drive? I
cannot believe I'm about to have to buy / find a freeware partitioning
product just to get this working (and take a chance on hosing my hard
drives / foul up my drive management scheme).
Thanks
In this day of 500 GB and Terabyte hard drives, what is need for HD
Management?

It's known as performance. So many people to no harddrive
maintenance/management and they they walk around saying "this machine's
so slow, I need a new one"

Also there's a lot of legacy software from the time when today's drives
weren't available. Some of us prefer to use "C" primarily for OS and system
related software and other virtual drives for specific uses. This way I can
do selective saves more easily.
