1. Yes. That is the default location, and subsequent updates and upgrades will default to that location when you install. Just makes things one step easier.

2. I've not heard of anyone's external disk crashing, but I assure you PG Music Support would work with you to fix you up fairly. I just don't know what process they would use, and I presume it might vary depending on exactly what is wrong.

Note that I did have a dead drive arrive once, and they shipped me another before mine had even reached them on a return shipment. This is a superb company when it comes to customer service. The best.
