Hi,
I\'ve recently installed BOINC client 5.2.13 on win and the climate prediction project. I\'m getting the message something like \"you must have more than 689MB free\"

Without resorting to fiddly ntfs \'join\' type filesystem tricks is there an easy way to get BOINC to use the vast amount of free space on my other drives?

Is there a setting in a cfg file, or the registry I can change, and just move the project directory.
Nothing has downloaded.
I\'ve thought I could try to do a re-install to a different drive, but this is not my favourite solution.

Ta,
Wavy.

no but you can try putting it on another drive ;)

I run off my I: drive because at the end of two sulphur cycles I will have like 4GB of crap in there and I run XP on a 15GB partition............

I think you need to uninstall (this won\'t delete your data), then copy the BOINC directory over to the drive you want, then reinstall BOINC into that folder.
