Win7 64bit: Installing in other drives/partitions
I came here because I've been searching for at least 2 hours and haven't seen a direct answer to my problem so if my problem turns out to be really noobish please, do tell.
Okay I live in an area with frequent black-outs and it makes a very risky place to live especially if your a "System Drive C" I recently lost large chunks of my files and utilities thanks to a recent black-out even with my UPS plugged to my AVR(They said this was okay in the shop XD). So next week I'm upgrading to Win 7 Ultimate 64 bit but I purposely want to install some files on my other partitions like drive D, so when I install the 64 bit Win7 will it create the two "program files" on the other drives? If not can I somehow do it manually and create two "program file" folders? DO I really have to install in neither folders?(Like playing small time games in Documents for example)
The purpose for my installing on other drives is so that if a another freak black-out happens majority of my regularly used files will be on other drives and not be lost forever due to O.S. corruption like last time XD
Since I'm pretty sure a lot of my apps are 64 bit ready and the two folders are just for (in case) situations like apps that don't recognize 64bit dlls. I need you guys cause the rest of the places I've looked have either missed the point of the questions asked completely or are too full of jargon.
