Age old question. I had a raid 0, and one of the 120gb failed. Figured out which was the good one, and got 2 WD 160 gb. Now gonna do a raid 1 with the 2 WD. Use the spare 120gb for storage. I used to have this.... c=xp.......d=vista ( I dual boot) e= personal stuff d= programs f= junk (swap file, temp int files) x= games I'm thinking this c= xp 25gb d= vista 85 gb e=games 120gb hitachi for storage (swap file there), documents..etc any thoughts....should games be in a separate partition? I use Acronis True Image 10.
I don't see why you would want both windows vista and xp but I would do windows xp cause I hear there is alot of problums with vista.
So would I, but let's actually help this person, rather than tell t hem off for wanting to use vista. This is surreal bklyn120, I used to have a RAID0 setup with two WD drives, and I had an X partition for my games! spooky... Guess what I set it up with? Acronis! Oh, and look what case I use. I also used to own a Dell 2407FPW, this is freaking me out! My drives were 250GB Caviar SEs though. As for the storage, how about RAID0: Vista: 50GB Games: 248GB (I expect your two 120GBs when formatted will sum a total of 298GB rather than 320) spare: XP: 20GB Misc.: 91GB
