yea i have tried that and named HD2 as that is where games are but the error still comes up, it reads 'Sorry that drive is not a valid drive, please check the name and run the install again...', any clues????

Hopefully you also included the colons after the DH2 you tried to make it read DH2: ... might be a simple thing as that which solves the problem.

You might also try entering the drive names like Workbench: or Work: or Games: etc and not of the drive numbers DH0, DH1 etc

Even the most profound and knowledgeable people sometimes forget the simple things   :-)
