    the game i want to play requires space in the D: drive not the C: drive. the game needs over 6 gb of space on the D: drive.



    plus my hard drive was fixed not to long ago.

    The D: drive is the disk..

    Are you trying to play the original game on the original disk? There should be enough room on the D: drive. You can't change that because that room is the actual disk, not your computer.

    your trying to install from the disk yes? if so the disk is basically saying it needs a certain amount of gb's (space) before it will install from the disk.

    your out of luck cause even if you keep a clean on drive d your still not going to have enough room cause gb is bigger then mb and I see on your drive d it only goes to 449mb on yours no matter how much you delete still not going to get that game installed and that is not enough disc space.. on the drive your just going to have find a way that way you won't be waisting your time on cleaning your drive d out..

    go to the start menu control panel performance and maintenance

    administrative tools computer management disk management and change the drive letter from there

    click on d: change drive letter path and make d:/ your C:/ drive

    and see if that works out for ya..and then go see if you can install it.
