Changing drive format

Hello: I hope there is someone out there that can assist us. Thank-You.

I had to restore our computer to factory settings. Saved all the data on C/D's that were important. After restoring the computer, we restored the quicken program, problem was it went to "F" drive which is our secondary hard drive used for back-up of our data. I have been attempting to get it to "C" drive which is our primary hard drive, and have not been successful.

Can someone PLEASE explain how I can ackomplish the task.

Again transferring from "F" drive to "C" drive.

Thank-You: snipped-for-privacy@aol.com

Have you considered uninstalling it from "F", and simply reinstalling it again, making sure that you install it to the "C" drive? I can't remember exactly the screen shots, but I've got to believe there's a panel early on that indicates where the target of the installation is to go, and "C" was probably the default. At this point, you might wish to explictly ensure that is the case.

I guess I'm missing why it isn't this simple?

Andrew is right.

There are software programs that will do it but that's overkill. Go to the control panel and uninstall Quicken the right way. Then install again and carefully watch for the installation folder to come up. If given the choice, use custom install rather than typical. Then it's sure to come up.
