Diablo III Technical Issues – How to Change Installation Directory to Drive A

diablo-3technical-issues

My friend is trying to install Diablo 3 in his windows 7. But he kind of messed up a little with his partitions.

All his files (and also extra space) are in the drive A, but his OS (windows 7) is running from drive C

Every time he tries to install Diablo, he change to drive A but it says "invalid directory" and doesn't save anything there, but instead, it suggest the drive C (where there is no space left).

Could it be because A is originally for Floppy disk? How could he fix it?

My guess is that the installer is based off of some ancient technology developed in Blizzard's dark ages and, as you suspected, you cannot install on either a drive lettered A or B. As noted, this is because these were the floppy or other external media drives from a long time ago, and it simply won't recognize them as a valid install location.

You must change the drive letter to something NOT A-C (D is always a wonderful choice) in order to install Diablo III and commence the looting.
