You can only install the basic installation of WSS to a specific set of
paths in X: where X: is your boot drive. (Typically C: of course but not
always)

The parameter refered to by Thomas in his reply means that the WMSDE
database system used in a default installation for content and configuration
databases can be allocated to a non-boot drive.

This may be all you need. The information in X: is fairly static with most
increases coming only in the database so provided you have enough room for
the standard installation files on X: now, you should be OK in the future.

[Note that if you are using SQL Server 2K you specify where that is to be
installed as part of the SQL Server installation - that parameter as I
understand it is for the default WMSDE installation.]

Yes, you are correct in that I am more worried about data space than "system"
space. Do the files need to be extracted, or can I run stsv2
/datadir="d:\program files\wmsdedata\\"?

I've always extracted the files before running command line stuff with
parameters.

(That's not to say that it doesn't work otherwise - I just don't know).

I DO want to install the system part (program files content) on another
drive. Is it possible?
