<p>When I had to wipe my computer for a virus a while ago, I decided to partition my drives. I have a large games drive, storage drive, and a very small system drive. I put the actual EQII game in my games drive. I just recently got the TSO expansion online and haven't played in months so there is a lot of patching to be done. However, it is patching on my tiny system drive. It can't hold that much and won't finish downloading. How do I change where EQII does its patching? Oh and no I can't just delete some stuff off the system drive because it has on just the bare minimum for my system, such as sound and video stuff and, of course, the OS.</p>
