To help answer MKUbanis question, and taking into account views on NOCD (speaking as someone who's bought the game, paid for replacement hardware and is happily playing SH3 without SF ;-);
1) Copying the installation from C to D won't enable you to play if you boot from C; the are non SF related registry entries which are required.
2) You method for SF removal will probably work on D.... but will still leave you without the non SF entries you do want.
For my part I ran the SF removal tool, and then ran a few other tools to pick up on root kit vulnerabilities and I use the NOCD. If you're going to rely on the SF removal tool, take a careful note of the drivers assigned to your CD / DVD / burners and HDD's before and after SHIII install ... so that you can be confident the SF removal tool leaves your drives in the state they were in before it screwed with your system. This is all I have done (no need for dual boot partitions) and have had no repeat hardware or burning issues since.
Hope this helps.
I always buy my games (it's the only way to fund game companies to develop new ones) .... but object to having them damage my equipment.
