Windows Forum / Windows XP / Games / April 2004Games Partition
Hi Am I right in thinking I can set a partitions to have XP on first partition and have second one to play games on, or do the games need to be on the system partition, i.e. Ghost Recon, Prince of Persia etc. Dave Yes you can have a separate partition for games and programs whilst keeping XP on a another partition. You just have to make sure that the OS is on the active, bootable partition.

Note : some games still demand they put some files into "Windows installed folder"\System etc. regardless of where game has been installed to. > Hi > Am I right in thinking I can set a partitions to have XP on first partition > and have second one to play games on, or do the games need to be on the > system partition, i.e. Ghost Recon, Prince of Persia etc. > Dave > I consistently do that, e.g. all games get installed to "D:\More Games\" > even though the OS is on C:. > > Note : some games still demand they put some files into "Windows installed > folder"\System etc. regardless of where game has been installed to. ... and some (Halo, Dungeon Siege) will put their saves in your "My documents" folder, as well... |
