Can I install itunes on my second hard drive?

Hello All,

Just wondering if I can install iTunes on the secondary hard drive where I keep all my audio/video files. That way, when I reinstall my OS or do an upgrade to Vista, I won't have to reload iTunes?

Thanks!

You can tell iTunes to install to any hard drive in system. But this will not save from having to reinstall program if/when you reinstall OS. iTunes like most Windows programs installs files in multiple folders on drive and makes registry entries.

You can, and should, set iTunes to store library on the second drive. That way when you have OS problems your media files should not be affected.

That's what I figured, but I was it was solitary in its file. I do have it pointing to my secondary drive to keep the iTunes file, so that is already backed up.

Thanks!
