You should not store web-accessible content on the system partition. You can install CF on the system partition (although that's less than ideal), but your .cfm/.cfc files along with other web content should be on a separate partition containing nothing else, for security reasons - specifically, to prevent directory traversal attacks: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Directory_traversal To create this configuration, simply configure your web server's root directory to point to a directory within this partition. If you need to upgrade the drive in the future, this configuration will be just as easy to work with as what you asked for.
