My P4-2.8 HT has a nearly full 40 GIG drive. I've just installed a larger slave drive for data backup. Is it possible to move/divert the WC program to the slave drive to free up main HD and accelerate the GRID calculations? Thanks in advance.

I have never done this. I would try uninstall / reinstall and see what was possible as an experiment.

It just might work with the uninstall reinstall that Lawrence recommends. I do not recall making any selection as to which drive to target in the installation. The manufacturer of my PC partitioned the hard drive and the C: partition is getting quite full and I note that the install program placed it on the D: partition where there is much more room. It would be interesting to hear from one of the WCG techs as to how the installer selects the target for installation.
