I used to run windows off my D:/, but something happened and it got corrupt and what not, but I don't really mind cause the files are still there. However, I want to recover my chats from google desktop. Is there any way to do this?
 
To move the index file, try this:

> Exit Google Desktop and Open Registry editor.
> Goto HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Google\Google Desktop
> In the right-hand pane, "data_dir" contains the location of the Google Desktop index.
> Open that folder in Windows Explorer and move the entire folder to a different drive.
> Change the "data_dir" value to reflect the new location of the Google Desktop index.
> Exit the Registry editor and Restart Google Desktop search.

I got that info from:

Here is another link with some info on managing google desktop. You might find it worth checking out. Scroll about a third of the way to the google desktop section.

By the way, I love San Diego. :)
