I have a Windows XP and the game I have is Zoo Tycoon

I don't have any more space on my C hard drive. But I have a PC Game how can I have it on my other hard drive?
copy the zoo tycoon folder and paste in on the other drive
Reply:First of all and very important, you need at least 1/4 or 25 percent of your C drive free. This is probably the default location of your cache for operating efficiently.





To locate a program on another drive, you need to run the installation and when it comes up stating it will be loaded onto C:\Program Files\etc etc, you just click on the ' other location ' or 'browse'.





Show it your second drive ie., D and it might change to D:\Program Files\etc etc. If not, just direct it to the D:\ drive and type in the game or program name after the D:\..





Like D\Program Files\Flight Simulator or whatever. It will then load your game to that drive and adjust the system registry to reflect that location.





Note: if your C Drive is full, your system will slow down. Check programs located there and if possible, uninstall it from C: and then reinstall to D: with the info you have learned.

Reply:If you mean you're trying to install Zoo Tycoon on a full drive, try going through your documents and user accessible areas, namely software; eliminate what you don't need.


Then, goto Start %26gt; All Programs %26gt; Accessories %26gt; System Tools %26gt; Disk Cleanup to rid yourself of temporary files, cache, and other disk clogging files that can be safely removed. Then, defrag your disk to arrange the files so allocation can be put into the latter part of the disk, thus saving performance and efficiency.
Reply:Start in installation process (put the CD in the computer). Just say that you want it to go to D:\Program Files (or whatever your other drive is called) instead of C. The option to change the destination drive will be there.
Reply:while u're setting the game up.. it allows you to change the destnied place of step up.. then you choose to put it where ever u want.. Knowing " having not enough space in ur C drive is dangerous for u're operating system.. u're pc will go slower.. " disch clean up " is recommended , Kero
Reply:Save your gamesaves and then uninstall the game from your c drive. Put the cd back in and this time, when it asks you where to install it to, choose your other hard drive. Put the gamesaves that you backed up, back in their proper folder. Viola!
