I just did some testing. &nbsp;I can place my websites on any drive and then in IIS, I just change the Home Directory of each Virtual Directory to the location of each site. &nbsp;That works for me -this is just for testing purposes when changes have been made - if I was going to host these sites then I would go out and get Server 2003.<br />
<br />
Thanks again Terry.<br />

When I add the windows component IIS, it installs to c:\inetpub by default and gives me no option to choose a different location. &nbsp;I do not want IIS on my system drive. &nbsp;I rather want to have it on my d:\ drive.<br />
<br />
How can I do this? &nbsp;Can I just copy it from c:\ and paste it onto d:\ then change the HOME DIRECTORY in IIS to match the new location?<br />

How can I install IIS 5.1 onto a different drive other than the default c:\ drive

IIS is Internet Information Services, the web server included with Windows Server operating systems. All current versions are built on a modular architecture; modules can be added or removed individually so that those required for specific functionality are installed. The full installation of IIS includes HTTP, security, content, compression, caching, logging and diagnostics.

Microsoft IIS Web Server

A web server refers to the software that helps to deliver web content that can be accessed either through the Internet or through an intranet. The primary function of a web server is to store, process and deliver web pages to clients. The communication between client and server takes place using the Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP). The most common use of web servers is to host websites, but there are other uses such as gaming, data storage, running enterprise applications, handling email, FTP, etc.

Microsoft Windows XP is the sixth release of the NT series of operating systems, and was the first to be marketed in a variety of editions: XP Home and XP Professional, designed for business and power users. The advanced features in XP Professional are generally disabled in Home Edition, but are there and can be activated. There were two 64-bit editions, an embedded edition and a tablet edition.
