Installation of SQL Server 2005 on the partition disk drive

[Joriveek]

Trying to install SQL Server 2005 beta version on partition disk drive say
F:\ (Other than local disk drive c:\),

Does anyone know how can I do this? During the installation, it never asks
me on which drive it install to nor browse button is there to browse the
disk drive for installation...

Any help???

Thanks
J.

As I recall, you need to go to the Advanced section to do this.

But part of the installations will always be in your ProgramFilesDir ,
that is normally C:\Program Files.

Also, you should post your SQL 2005 to the SQL 2005 newsgroups, as these
are monitored by the SQL Server folks. See here for access:
