Installing SQL server on mount points -

Disk allocation is as follows
f:\ -- 10 GB /*mount root */
f:\data1 /* mount volume for mdf's/
f:\log1 /* mount volume for ldf's/
f:\logbackup /* mount volume for tx log backups */
.
.


Question: Where should i install SQL Server software and create system databases? under root (f:\) or should provision a 8 GB mount volume (i.e f:\) and install sql here?

What's the optimal size of mount root?

Your input is much appreciated.

you can specify where you want to create the databases during installation, by default they go into the installation directory and I am guessing that would be the root
