***I'm not sure if this is in the correct section but i'm sure a mod will move it for me if it is wrong ***

At the moment i have 2 hard-drives in my machine. One with Windows XP SP2 on it and the second one has absolutly nothing in it. My question is this.

Is it possible to install a game onto this 2nd hard-drive and access it as normal or would i need to install an O/S onto it.

The reason i am wanting to do this is becuase there are a lot of add on's/Custom things for this game (Football Manager) and i was just wanting to have a single hard-drive for this so it doesn't take up all of my space on the main drive.

Awaiting your reply...

Surely you can put your game on your other drive if you want to. When you install it and it prompts you for the location to install the game, just change the default drive letter which will probably be C to the letter of your other drive.

No, it will still load and or get those things from the C drive, but will put the main folder for the game and all of it's own files itself wherever you tell it to.
