Instal XP to different drive, not C ?

I read at "Radified" that installing windows to a drive other thah C gives an extra layer, albeit small, security layer. Since virtually everyone uses C crude viruses may give up if not finding windows there.

Has anyone done this ?
Are there any other things I'd need to do in such a case ?
I intend to multi-boot also ... does this make not using C easier or not ?

During the Windows installation you are asked where to put it. Choose a secondary drive and it will Just Work.

The bootloader will still be put on C:, so there will be no difference when multi-booting.

The best way to keep your computer virus free is by using a "limited" acount for all your downloading, web surfing etc and only use your admin account for installing stuff etc.

Just remember that some programs default to C:\ directory or c:\windows (for referencing system files i guess?) when installing so don't forget to change it or tweak the registry (if needed) a bit..

Now I tend to feel the small advantage of not having win installed in C would probably be outweighed by other potential and unecesary program confusion.

Think I'll just use the default C partition.
Thanks guys for your input.

If you are conserned about privacy and protection from nasties, then take korrupt's advice and use a limited account for general use.. and also have a read of this FAQ as well.

Otherwise, good surfing habits and common sense should suffice..

BTW.. i used to have my windows in D:\ partition once upon a time.. don't think it made much of a difference..

Just had a quick look at that link about windows security ... it seems great.
Thanks heaps !
