I'm on Win 7 Pro (64-bit) too, using SM 2.49.1, and I did just as you

I chose an external drive, and when I clicked the "Select Folder"
button, I was returned to the previous dialog where it informed me
that my profile would be stored in... exactly the default folder it
had originally proposed. No matter how many times I "selected" the
other location, SM ignored my selection and promised to save the
profile just where it pleased.
You need to select a folder on the drive, not the drive itself. The
profile is created directly in the specified folder, not in a salt.name
subfolder. That's what I found yesterday when I tried with SeaMonkey
2.49.1 on Windows Vista (sorry... should have mentioned in my response
that I'd actually tried it on Windows!)
OK, so the root is not allowed, even though the rest of the world thinks
it's a folder too?
OK, as Daniel requested and as you suggest, I tried a nonroot folder on
my default HDD (BTW, Daniel, the external drive is also a "physical hard
drive," not a virtual one). Result: This time SM accepted my selection.
I also tried the root folder on my default HDD and was ignored as
before. SM seems to have a root allergy. FWIW.
