Lewis, you can fudge some of the external disk to be part of your C: drive. I would be surprised if DSS was smart enough to detect this. You will probably find you can not can not unmount/eject the external disk.
Directory names are just examples.
1) assuming you have some unallocated space on the external drive (or can resize an existing partition to free some up):
mkdir C:\dsstempspace
create a new partition on the external drive and have Windows mount it as C:\dsstempspace - you do this from "My Computer" -> "Manage" -> "Disk Management"
2) download "SysInternals Suite" (or just junction.exe) from Microsoft (they bought the company). Suppose your external disk is E: then
mkdir E:\dsstempspace
junction C:\dsstempspace E:\dsstempspace
and tell DSS to use c:\dsstempspace
You can also add another swap file on the external disk.
