- The original poster was suggesting that you should not stack your C:
- drive into a D: drive and then SSWAP the C: and D: drives. This
- confuses many install programs and many users as well. If your original
- uncompressed drive was C: and after installing Stacker your uncompressed
- drive is still C:, then you have done yourself a favor.
