Hi All

I am getting CS6 today,would it be OK to install it on the largest partition of my drive instead of the boot partition? My drive is 1,000 GB and is partitioned into C: 250 GB (boot) and D:750 GB

Thanks for your help
John.
 
Surely if it's in the boot drive it would slow the start up process
Might be wrong

BTW how much did you get it for?

Yep, no problem doing that. Lots of people have a smaller boot drive and then install programs etc onto larger ones.

Especially useful if you want to install a fast SSD as your boot drive. You can get a smallish one, say 32 or 64 GB for the OS so that the machine starts in about 30 seconds or so and then everything else goes on the slow spindle drive.
 
Thanks for the info Vaughan,appreciate you help.

CS7 will be a while yet, CS 6 was only released in March this year, so probably not for another year or so.
 
Just got internet to work in browser says April 2014
Might look into it and see if my wife wants it
 
An interesting post. I currently have all of my Canon software, DPP etc on disk "C", which is almost full. I should also add that I have shortcuts to these programmes on my desktop. Would it be possible to transfer this software to partition "D", which has lots of space available, if so, how would I do that?

Any help would be appreciated.:)
 
Well postman delivered it midday and I proceeded to install,was asked where I wanted to install it,when I selected D: the large part of my drive,Photoshop told me I can't install to root,so having no other choice,I installed on C:

Got a lot to learn now,been busy downloading you tube tutorials all afternoon.

All you had to do was create a directory under 'root' and install in there. E.g d:\programs
 
Oh well live and learn,I'll know next time,thanks Vaughan.

You could always uninstall and then reinstall to the other drive.

Failing that if you are happy using regedit you could just copy the files across and edit any reference to photoshop to point to the new location.

Just reinstalling would probably be the best option though.
