I've done it before but i cant remember for love of god how i did it.
My HDD is partitioned into two drives, how do i change which one i want to be the primary drive, so when i download something it saves it to the one i want it to save to.
Get me?

What are you downloading with? Do you mean download anything using any application, or do you mean download using appliction X (e.g. bittorrent).

Don't think you can do this in Windows, only in specific applications.
Unless you change the drive names (e.g. C:\ to D:\ and D:\ to C:\) but then you'd have to change the BIOS to boot from the other partition.

Changing the drive names is not recommended!

Are you using Mozilla or Internet Explorer Chubbs?
Mozilla - Tools, Options, Main and edit the "save files to" bit.
IE.
1. Click "Start" - "Run".
2. Start the registry editor by typing "regedit" and press ENTER.
3. Scroll down to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer.
4. In the right pane, double-click "Download Directory".
5. When the "Edit String" dialog appears, enter your new download directory. Make sure to type this EXACTLY correct - there is no option to browse for directories! When done, click "OK".
6. Close the Registry Editor. Close all open Internet Explorer windows. You may also need to reboot your computer or logoff and login for this change to occur.
