>>Will an NT installation go where it is told?

Yes. But it requires the three or four files (plus the
boot sector) on the active primary partition of the
(bios labeled) C drive to detect and get to "where it's
told."

BTW, so will Win 95 and 98. BUT they require a small
"shadow" directory of the same name as their install
directory on the (bios labeled) C drive. (I've been
meaning to post about this but haven't.)

So it appears, if you just inspect directories,
that the instruction to install on another drive was
ignored when it really wasn't. Or so I read --
I've not done it myself, so maybe it's broken for all
I know.
