That could make difference. But does installing your apps on the same drive as windows makes your computer slow or what? I don't think you would see any notable difference in speed. But that could depend on which programs you are installing. You will notice a difference if you start using an image backup, and restore system tho. Thank you all Lig , I really haven't tried to do that in Vista because I don't have it.
However, if you had read my Post 34, you would have been seeing in the link I have posted that that is available. I want any personal data regardless of what program creates them save in another separated partition other than OS's.
I hope you understand me. First you would have to find or know the default location for any data saved from all your programs. Now if you have to reinstall windows you will have to reinstall all your programs because windows registry doesn't know the programs exist on another partition. The programs onn another drive or partition with an SSD I don't agree with other then what I described above, to save space is about all.
If I purchase an SSD for an increase in speed then I will want all my programs on that drive for that increase in speed. Thanks a lot, First you would have to find or know the default location for any data saved from all your programs. PLease understand me: Some porgrams when I install, they don't let me change default path C: , so they force me to install in C.
Also, when they are installed in C, they create a folder for their files somewhere in the C, I don't exactly know where it is. So how can find it to make it in another partion I want. As a result, The only solution to be completely sure that all of your data is separated from the partion where Windows resides, is if there is a way to let another partition other than C be the defualt path to install any program.
In my 32bit, I have that registry entry and that entry plus "ProgramFilesDir x86 " in my 64bit version. When you do a custom install of a program, what is the default path the installer points to?
Do not know why that entry is absent in your registry but you can create a new string value and name it ProgramFilesDir and input the path you like in the value data plus ProgramFilesDir x86 if you have 64bit although Microsoft does not support changing the location of Program files folder.
But just to be sure create a restore point or backup your registry first or export the registry "CurrentVersion" key first before modifying it. Suggest if you wanted to try something like that you start off with a fresh install. Then when you start to install your programs you can direct where you want then to be installed. Then everything will work. Not quite as simple If you are working with only one program and you get messed up you just recover your image fresh image and start over.
If no, then how can I do a clean install of windows as long as I don't have Windows 7 installation disk. Is this enough to do a clean install? Of course the most important thing is that you have a valid character Product Key for the version that matches your disk install version. Not quite as simple. First: why should I have create a User folder. I really moved my current user profile to D: without any problem.
So, all folder user reside on D. Third: if I had done a clean install, I wouldn't have some programs tools which are integerated with my Windows system from the Factory.
Finally: I have read Doing a clean install Should I do these? I use Partition Wizard for preparing my drives. So, I would delete 'System' partition and then I will carve up some space from C to be with the resulting space deleted from System partition. So, when I do a clean install, I want to let OS reside on C and all programs and my personal data on new partition. Then, the installing programs have something in C and somethings eles in D.
So, my question is when I created a system image for Windows partition C after redirecting installing programs to be installed in another partition, will all programs be valid Working when I restore my Windows from this image? Or should I reinstall them? Going back to your original posts, There are a few reasons why some recommend that data is stored on a separate partition from the OS.
