unable to run v3.9.27 in win 10 safe commandline

Now my system is up, I want to start  re-installing my essential (legacy) apps. I like inatalling into another partition giving d windows partition more space.  How do I make apps like Ms office to install to another partition even if the option is not specified in the installer?

Boggin:
I just have one big C: partition on this laptop and on my others.

While they still had Win 7 I booted up with a Win 7 install disk as to perform a clean install then deleted the D: recovery partition and merged that with C:

I don't know if you will get that option in IE/Tools cog/View downloads and click on Options in the lower right to select where you want the downloads to be saved, but saving to and running a program from a different partition is something I've never done.

Life is much simpler having everything in one partition, although large files such as music or photos are best kept on an external hard drive, as much for security should your HDD go down as well as saving space on the main drive.

I would create systems images as you progress through building your system back up so you have a fall back should things go awry in the process.

I am installing vb 6.0 and while updating the system prompt, the laptop has frozen. More than 5 minutes now. I can hear d processor fan. Can I put it off? How do I know what is causing d hanging?

Boggin:
I'm not sure what is causing the hanging - Event Viewer or reliability history may have something on that but you can power shutdown, remove the battery if its easily removed as well as the AC, then press and hold the power button for ~30 secs then switch it back on this will clear the memory of whatever was causing the hang.

If the battery isn't easily removed then there's no point in performing the cold boot.

234Aproko:
Thanks. I think I may be unto the culprit- d paste atop between my processor and the processor fan heat sink was dry and was probably overheating. I have now added paste and the laptop is no more going off suddenly. What pointed me there was an entry in event viewer that clearly said under one entry at about the time the laptop went down that an unexpected thermal event caused an unexpected shutdown. This could have instigated all the initial issues. Anyway, I am happy that I have gotten another HDD and can now properly backup my data.
