You can go to disk manager and mount the second disk under
the c drive or have your profile location specify a
different drive letter. You can go to user accounts and
set the profile location. You can also set the my
documents location by right clicking on my documents from
the start menu. However I've encountered trouble doing
this. See my post "different user profile location"
