You can install whatever you want in any partition but they will work only If the C: is available (the same C: that was there when you install)

Wherever you install your software/game wont matter files are installed in windows32 or any system folder as default way.Only the destination of installation folder varies according to your way.

When you format C: you will have to reinstall all the software/games.Because there will not be any conecction to your system after you format C:

thanks bro

so it means i can install anything in any partition according to my liking?

and no need to install under C:\Program Files???

is there a difference/advantage installing it at C:\Program Files than installing it in some other place?

i recommend you to install windows and software on C drive. when partitioning, make sure that you choose front of the hard disk to create c partition. so the system will be running in faster disk area. user other partitions to store multimedia(films,music etc).
