Hi zevele1, I am glad that you saw my post. By the way, I like your posts. They are a challenge to parse, because as you posted, English is not your native language. That's good for me, because I do not think I would even notice if you were flaming me.
I'll steal Harry The Hipster's respond-in-line technique:
zevele>I did not see your answer before .Thank you.I feel i understand your answer.
[former member]>Thanks.

zevele>Here is what i asked you about drive D. I have drive C with Windows. I have drive D with music on it and a folder with all the "exe".
[former member]>OK, at some point you you installed windows to C, and have your music on D. You also have some *.exe files on D. I don't know exactly which *.exe are on D. I assume that you mean the Media Jukebox (MJ) self- extracting download and perhaps also the run time MJ exe.

zevele>I mean what to get when you download a program. After download,you click on it to run the install of the program?
[former member]>When you download MJ, you download a MJ.exe file. But it is not a run-time executable file. As you probably know, it is a file meant to be executed, mostly
once, before program run-time, in order to build the MJ production system. Part of the production system is another MJ .exe file, but this is a production .exe. NOT an install .exe.
The same can be said of the Windows install process. When you execute the Window's setup.exe file, it builds the run time Windows executable. Here are the significant elements:
1-C and D do not necessarily have to name two physically different disks. C: and D: can name two different
partitions, on the
same physical disk.
2-FDisk is a program that manages partition. Have you ever used FDisk? It can be run from a bootable floppy, that contains the FDisk program. You can use it to delete an existing partition, say C:, and then create a new, virgin C: partition. That would wipe out the Windows that had been on your C: partion. You would need to re-install windows by executing Window's setup.exe. If you already had copied the Window's CD to say a directory on your D: partions called 'copy of Windows CD', the you could click on D:\....setup.exe. You would do this after booting from a floppy, like the start-up floppy that contained a minimal OS.
3-An alternative to FDisk is a program calle Ghost, now part of Symantec Norton. The Ghost part is available as a free download on the internet. Ghost is more flexible than FDisk. Like FDisk, you usually put Ghost onto a bootable floppy, so you are not dependent on any OS runnning from you hard drive. Now Ghost can create partitons like FDisk can, but Ghost can also copy a partition very quickly. So an alternative way to install a clean, virgin, fresh, Windows partion, is the use Ghost to copy Window from C: to a second virgin partition immediately after you install Windows to C. Better still is to first install Windows to a virgin C:, then do your Windows Updates, then copy the patched Windows on C: to a virgin partion, say D:. Why? Well, then whenever you wanted to start afresh, you could use Ghost to delete and re-create a virign C: and then copy D: back to C:. You would then have a fresh, fast, virgin partition, which by the way would allow you to install and run Media Jukebox with full functionality, even if your *.rrg license file would not work.
4- Ghost can be run across a network. So you can do your backups, checkpoints, re-installs, etc, by mereley making a partion to partion copy at critical checkpoints. Usually when shareware displays its install warning about not running any programs (like virus checkers, etc) during the actual install, is the time to make a virgin partition and use Ghost to copy your boot partion. That way you can do any previous install as many times as you want to. You can go back to Media Jukebox 7.2 or 1.1 if you want to.
Good luck
