I'm trying to install missionary, but, it keeps trying to install to my C drive rather then my F drive. Is there any way to change the drive destination on the self installer?

My C drive is actually my zip drive, so I tried to install it on a zip disk, then tried to drag it to my hard drive. I'm not sure if it installed correctly.

In a nutshell when my hard drive was replaced by the approved Dell technician he hooked up the cables incorrectly, hard drive cable to my zip drive and vice versa. I didn't catch it until a week ago, so all of my programs and other various files boot from the F drive. Being the lazy piece of shit I am, I never did switch the cables. And for other various reasons I will not go into.
The zip drive is there because my computer is about three or four years old, so it made sense at the time. However, it is there for sentimental value considering I have only used the dumb thing five or six times.  This post has been edited by Panzer: 09/26/03 12:52pm -------------------- |

Switching the cables will not work, you would have to reinstall windows and flip the cables for it to work

Yeah, & I am not going to do that. Actually it's all good. I'll have my new comp. in a week so it doesn't matter.
