This may be simple but i can't find the option. Is there anyway to run CCleaner to scan drive D:? as i pulled a drive from a non booting computer and i am trying to clean out the temp files from it? thanks for your time
The short answer is no. You would have to create/modify winapp2.ini to include specific paths OR under options goto the inlcude section and add paths there. CC will only detect and clean the current drive the OS is loaded on and more specifically, the currently logged on user.
It would be faster & easier to manauly clean the drive yourself I think.

Welcome to Piriform Bangulo.
Just curious. Are you trying to fix the non booting drive? If that's the case we might be able to help if we had the details of why it isn't booting.

I have no idead why it is not booting. It's in a boot loop. I usually clear a drive with ccleaner. to get all the garbage out before scanning it with virus scanners as it saves time and alot of viruses hide in cookies and tmp files. so clearing them all at once is just the easy way to do it then manually doing it by hand.

Yeah. If it implemented all users or had a "Full Scan" or another OS partition scan, it would greatly improve this program.
though it is already very helpful.
I gather you have the drive slaved to your own computer as you can't even get to safe mode with the problem one?
What error messages does the non booting PC throw up when it fails to boot, and have you tried getting into it with a Rescue CD?
I'm probably asking you stuff you've already tried, but I'm just eliminating things, and which Operating System are we talking about?

Yeah, I Got it worked out. I did a repair install in windows. after chkdisk /r didn't do much nore would it boot in safemode. haha
even after scanning it out with virus scanners and malwarebites. Thanks for the help though.
