Hello,

I would like to install PGSQL on Windows XP and would like to change
the default directory for the data as I would prefer to have my
databases on a specific partition and not on my programm partitition.
What do I have to do for it? Can you give a short describtion to a
complete PGSQL noob?

Thanks in advance,
Ole

Just set the directory for the "Data directory" feature on the
"Installation options" screen in the installer.
