The DEVICE_ID value on the existing entry can be edited from C: to another drive if you do not want to monitor C:.
Best practice
Ensure the MIN_SIZE, MIN_FREE and MIN_PERCENT_FREE values are slightly smaller than the values from the service\iddb.cfg configuration file, so that the warning email about running out of space goes out before the Database Service actually runs out of space.
