I have a new PC with 2 250g disk. How should I organize the disks? Should Programs be on the C or D drive?

Should I leave MyDocs on C drive? Should Data reside with the programs or on seperate drives?

Whoa you guys have been buying some huge hard drives. You only need about a 10GB partition for Windows XP. This makes me feel like I should buy a new hard drive cause my 120GB is starting to seem kind of small. I suggest you make a 10GB partition for Windows and then organize things on other partitions by groups. I have a partition that is just for games and I have an encrypted partition and a partition that I installed Linux on and so on and so forth. You should keep as few things on the partition that has Windows on it as you can so that way if and when windows goes all to hell your important stuff will still be safe.

Reply:I have a 750g Hard drive on my PC. I partition my drive into 2 separate partitions. First partiton 50G, I use for the operating system only. Second partition i have 200G for programs I like to save so when I reformat my Main Partition, I wont have to go and download all the programs. For the last partition I have 500g and I have a few folders in that partition where i save my music, pictures, and videos. What I would suggest for you, is partition your first drive into 50g and 200g so that your main drive is only 50g. That way, if you need to reformat, it wont take you hours. Also, that way you wont delete ALL the files you have on the drive because you have to reformat.
