I can't find any setup params to specify what disk to use for projects.
My internal drives are relatively small but I have a 3TB external drive available to dedicate to all project work however I'm Unable to find any option to specify this.
Is there a way I can specify the external drive?

In the Windows installer, it's in the third screen in the installer, click Advanced and you can specify what path the BOINC Programs and Data directories should go onto.

It can only be done from the installer, so if you have the Windows version of BOINC, you'll need to uninstall and reinstall.

->

If you already have a Data directory with tasks and applications in it, then you can do the following:
1. Uninstall BOINC
2. Move the Data directory to where you want it to go, do the move for the whole BOINC directory, including all files and sub-directories.
3. Install BOINC, making sure that you add the new path to the Data directory in the path as shown above.

And that's then it. The new directory should have the correct permissions and all your data still intact.

The Boinc program files and Boinc Data directories can be set by going into the Advanced Menu when installing Boinc.

Excellent response.
it would be a nice feature to chance dynamically without a re install but
everything is running fine after adding the disk.
Thanks for your help.
