Having the C: drive always present and always local is a good idea and will save users _lots_ of trouble. I have (or had - not booted it in eons) a Windows 2000 server that doesn't have a C: but only a F: (default install of W2K on an older Compaq with SCSI disk and some existing partitions) and many applications failed to install, including several Microsoft ones.
