you should realy keep the install directory as it is, mayb change the drive sure, but if you leave out the Battlefield 2142 in \Electronic Arts\Battlefield 2142\ then the next EA game you install will mess up your files.
the drive  shouldnt mather much.

So I should have my BF2142 file in my EA program file?

Re: First Strike Problem

I made the same mistake when I installd BF2142.
When you're going to install it to a different drive(B:\ for example) don't change the entire default directory,just the drive letter.
For example;C:\Program Files\Electronic Arts\Battlefield 2142 is the default directory so only change the drive letter:
B:\Program Files\Electronic Arts\Battlefield 2142

Re: First Strike Problem

well if you install lets say the EA game Need for spee and you change the install directory from (cept disk it doesnt mather whats here)\Electronic Arts\Need for Speed into \Electronic Arts like you did with the bf2142 instalment, lots of problems could happen.

Re: First Strike Problem

I have my BF2142 folder outside of my program files. Would that make a difference?

Re: First Strike Problem

Then you need to redirect your short cut accordingly.... and make sure FS installed to the right folder as well...
