I have WinAVR installed on a D: drive.  That's also where my WinNT 
directory is.  Even if the system directory were on a different 
drive, though, it shouldn't matter.

Don't forget that on NT variants (Win2K, XP, etc.) there are actually 
two different sets of path information.  One for the system and one 
for the user.  The effective path for any particular user is the 
combination of the two.  To see what the combined path is just type 
PATH followed by the Enter key at the DOS prompt.
