You are likely referring to the 160GB USB drive that came with Biab, so there would be no point to installing to it, because it is already installed to that drive.


No, I am referring to my own personal 160G USB hard drive, that is freshly formatted and ready to go.

if you want to install to another drive, you can do that, and if you encounter any problem, just abandon the install, and just copy the BB folder from the BB USB drive to wherever you want.


But Peter, you should know that you can't install to another drive if you use the Setup.exe provided. It never provides you with an opportunity to chose another drive.

And it certainly never pops up a screen saying "I see you have encountered a problem with the installation. Perhaps you are trying to install to an external USB drive? If so, just copy the BB folder from the BB USB drive to your external drive. Easy peasy!"

As an aside, if you already have a 160GB BB hard drive of bb 2011, and space is a premium on your other drives, you should consider installing your BB 2015 upgrade to that BB 2011 drive, which will upgrade that. There is no point in preservng a big BB 2011 installation, in a system that is low on available hard drive space.


Yes I do have a 160G drive of BB 2011 and space is certainly a premium for me now on my main hard drive.
Istalling the BB 2015 upgrade to my BB 2011 installation is also what the PG tech guy recommended yesterday on the phone.

However, I would like to install to an external USB drive now, to see how that goes and possibly delete the 2011 main drive installation if everything works out.
