Just make a symbolic link for c:windowstemp ... um .. never mind
that's Linux.
You can change the location of the temp directory in Window$.
I have a limited edition Norton ghost program on a cd with a mobo I
bought. 
I could burn you a copy, if you can't find a free copy on google.
Let me know.

Also there is good old xcopy, depending on your needs it may do what you
need.
