<p>Hello there,</p><p>My problem is this - I am almost comouter illiterate, and hope things usually are fairly automatic etc with loading/patching.</p><p>I have recently tried the trial account - which gave me a mammoth DL with 15 or 16 hours of patching. After coming back I relaised I had missed eq2, so have reacitivated my account.</p><p>The only issue here is simple - I do not have room on my C drive for eq2, so I installed the trial on my F drive.</p><p>On starting the patcher and entering my old account details it automatically started to install, then came up with the error message -</p><p><span style="font-size: x-small;">There is insufficient free disk space in C:Program FilesSonyEverQuest II. You must have at least 9196 MB available to update this game. Please try again. If the problem persists.., etc</span></p><p><span style="font-size: x-small;">Well, could someone please intruct me, in simple layman's terms, how I get the patcher to use the trial account data, and patch onto my F-drive please? </span></p><p><span style="font-size: x-small;">thank you very much</span></p>

<p>Greetings,</p><p>I assume you're starting the game through a shortcut on your desktop?  If you are, right click on that icon and select 'open file location'.  That should put you in the Everquest 2 folder with a path like "C:Program FilesSonyEverQuest II".  Simply back out one step so you're at "C:Program FilesSony", Select the Everquest 2 folder, and hit Ctrl + X.  Then go to the folder/hard drive that you want to install the game on and hit Ctrl + V.  That will move the folder to the location you want.</p><p>Finaly, select the icon on your desktop again and delete it.  In the Everquest 2 folder you moved you can then find the Everquest 2.exe, right click on it, then select 'Send To > Desktop".  That will put a new shortcut on your desktop.</p><p>Let me know if you have any questions.</p>

<p>Thanks for the reply ) I wish I had been a bit more patient lol. What I did instead was delete Wow from my /c drive as after playing the trial for a few days I decided I wont be needing it anymore.</p><p>It then started to update anyway - it made a new icon on my desktop - this one the old style blue EQ2 shortcut rather than the black background one I had before.</p><p>And then started another mammoth update, currently at 9 hours to go >.<</p><p>Am I right in assuming that had I waited and done as you suggested it would have been a much shorter update? And if so, can I remedy that now, or shall I leave it going?</p><p>Lastly - I deleted the trial account Shortcut from my desktop - do I also need to go into my /f drive and delete the eq2 data in there?</p><p>Thanks very much.</p><p>Cratoh</p>
