Because I hold a audio/video studio facilitie in my home I have a PC with four internal sata hard disk for a total of 2.5 terabytes and three 500/1TB GB external USB/eSATA disk for storage and big sampler libraries I use not frequently. My computer disk raid remembrance a big city (in my son' mouth words ), also I use multi OS booting and my main audio is Windows XP is on disk E: (trying W7 now), aside of my BIAB external 2.5" hd pack I use (in my now missing by stole laptop ) Band in a Box patch is installed in my studio PC in a specialy devoted to audio disk: 'D:\Audio software\Band in a box', (without year version in name for updating on place) there are Real Tracks and Real Drums folders inside BIAB dir. However I have Real Band in 'D:\Audio software' outside of BIAB dir. Up to date all is working great, every time I update or apply a PGmusic patch the system automatically locate BIAB/RT/RD and RB folders and all is done flawless. As you can note I avoid to install programs with king sized contents in system main disk program files dir. Honestly I don´t like any program living separate in the root of a OS disk like C:\bb installer deafult option, although as Mac point, BIAB install routines does not write to the windows registry. As a personal tip: I use Beyond Compare, a very useful program let me to compare, copy, move, synchronize and update folder and files, its main adventage is you can copy or move big dirs without annoying breaks occuring in the half of a long copy/move session when Windows find a corrup folder/file or system file, perfect for uninterrupted accurate copy of even complete disks. There are others good programs however, personal matter.
