PPBM5 - all files on the same drive ?

(btw if this has already been answered and "discussed to death" on some other thread please post the link if you remember it. thanks)

Unless I'm misreading the instructions it seems PPBM5 wants the project file, source files and output files all on the same drive. Is that correct?

Wouldn't I have gotten better scores if I could've used my normal scratch drive (K:\) and split up the project file (H:\), sources files (V:\) and output files (R:\)?

Well I tried running it that way but it wouldn't write the Ouput.txt files.

Thanks for sharing any thoughts.
