I haven't tried installing LilyPond anywhere else than C:\Program 
Files\, but
LilyPond itself does not have any problems whatsoever to handle .ly files
on other disks.
I assume that you follow the instructions and save the file on the desktop.
How do you process the file, do you drag/drop it onto the LilyPond icon
or do you simply double-click on the file?
I recommend you to read the latest version of the Tutorial at
http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.11/Documentation/user/lilypond/Tutorial#Tutorial
Even though it's included with the experimental development version, it's
relevant also for the current stable version 2.10, which I assume that 
you use.
