HelloI want to install a development environment in my laptop.
I have Windows XP Home Edition and two hard drives. One external; let’s call it the D drive and my the laptop’s hard drive; C drive.
I was wondering what would be the best installation for my development environment .
Sould i install the Server in the D drive as follows?
D:\Lotus\Domino
D:\Lotus\Domino\data
and the Administrator/Client/Designer as follow?
C:\Program Files\lotus\notes
C:\Program Files\lotus\notes\data
What would be your suggestions?
Anything else I should know before proceding?
Thanks

I take it since you want to install it on a laptop one of the objectives is to be mobile?!?
If that is the case I think it would safe to assume that you do not always have the external HDD connected and operational?
If so (and disk space is not an issue) I don’t see a problem in having both Domino and Notes (along with their Data directories) installed on the same C partition. If space however is an issue then I also would farm out the Data directories to the external drive.

I would personally install the program directories (for both client and server) on one volume and the data directories (for both client and server) on the other.
EDIT:
Just re-read the post and saw the “external drive” part for the first time. My advice above was aimed at a two-internal-drive configuration; just ignore it.
