Default downloading critical updates

I need to download to the D drive but the default is C. Is there any way I
can change that?

It's one of the options during installation.

Just as Guus E says, watch the d'load process till you see WERE the
default is sending it to. The alter the "target" to "d". IE: c:\program
files\xxxx
Change the "c" to "d".

Domianna,

If you're referring to Automatic Updating you would have to hack the
registry to get the updates to download to the drive with *less* free
space. Best to do the updates manually :

How to download updates and drivers from the Windows Update Catalog or
from the Microsoft Update Catalog
