How do you get PCMark (Vantage) to target a specific hardrive in its overall benchmark? You can pick the drive for the HDD test, but when you do the main bench it seems to randomly pick a drive to use. First time it picked the D: drive. Then I unplug all but the C: drive and the drive I REALLY want it to use, name the new drive D:, and it starts using C: !!!

If I recall correctly, you must select the System Test Suite, then hit the Options/Settings button, and select the drive you want the app to use for the tests.
I don't have Vista installed on any rig here, so I can't give you the exact steps that you need to take, but I can check it out later on as I will be installing Vista on the BloodRage.

Doesn't work. It DOES work for the HDD suite, but when I run the general PCMark test it ignores what I picked. :(
