I don't know what you mean by "older" releases of D3/NT, but I can 
confirm that I have at least one client with D3/NT 7.x installed on 
their "E:" drive, thought their boot drive is still "C:".  Windows 
Server 2003.

If Windows itself can be installed and boot from a drive other than 
"C:", I don't see why D3 would have any problems.  It's just a Windows 
compliant application, like many others.  It would have been crazy for 
TL to hard code some type of drive letter specification into the 
product.  AFAICT, it's just like any other application, using registry 
entries to determine configuration, data paths, etc.

I usually set up NT systems with D3 on the boot (C:) drive, but have 
application data (accounts) on a different drive (D, E, etc).
