I read some of the thread on SIMS 2.. and icouldnt find my problem..
i made 3 partitions on my harddrive a small partition for my windows install, C:

and 2 bigger ones... games and other..D: and E:
i wanna install the sims 2 on the D: but it keeps telling me that the disc has to install something on the C:

i dont have enough room on my C: to install what they want...

anyone encounter this problem... if so is there a way around it?

Free up space on C: either by deleting unecessary stuff or using a program like Partition Magic to increase the partition size. Really these days with 2000/XP you NEED at the extreme least C: 6gb partitions unless you want to constantly monitor your C: paritions. When I used to split up C: (OS) and D: (Programs), I'd make C: at least 10gb.

Unfortunately installshield requires installation of some files on C:...usually for uninstalltion information.
