Why you use a D drive to save your file?
If you have a D drive on your computer, then you can save files onto it. You might do so to have your data files on a particular drive, rather than having them all on the C drive. Your C drive is usually used for storing the actual programs. So it can be useful to keep your data on a separate disk. It is a good organisational strategy. It can make it easier to see how much data you have, as you know that anything that is on the D drive are data files. If there is a crash on the C drive, you could still have all your files safe on the D drive. So there are lots of good reasons for doing it.

What to do when you have no space for game on c drive and you have a lot of space on d drive?
Assuming the D drive is another hard drive, you could simply install the game there. Dur ing most installations you're asked where you want to put the files, and the computer can find them just as easily on the D drive as the C drive. (Some installations don't ask, in which case you're boned. Complain to the software company and see if they have a workaround.)
What happens to deleted files The file was originally on your C partition of hard-drive will the files remain on that partition or can they sometimes be stored on the D partition?
First, they would not be on the "D" drive. The "D" drive is a small partition created when Windows is installed and only contains the basic information of Windows. Files that are :deleted, aren't really deleted until at sometime the area that they take up on the hard drive are written over. There is some software out there, Active UNDelete is one, that can help recover files that nave been deleted IF they are still intact on the hard drive.

How do you install new software on your D drive?
If your main drive is your C drive then you shouldn't install any software on the D drive because it is a recovery drive. A recovery drive is where Windows creates backup files for System Recovery and stores the backup. If you absolutely NEED to install the software, here are the instructioins. 1.Run the installer. 2.Go to the part where it asks you where to install the program. 3.If it has a preset path(ie. C:\program files\ProgramName) change it to a directory in the D drive or the D drive it self(ie. D:\) 4. Install. If you followed through you SHOULD have the program in there. If any damage of any form happens, WikiAnswers.com and I are NOT responsible for it. I hope this helped and have a nice day :)
