1- OS
2- Paging files
And on the Second drive also two partitions
1- Games
2- Software and Apps
First, would this work?
Second, what does the autostreamer do?
Third, I have a custombuild pc which I made and have the drivers OS at hand. Should I use any program to back up drivers as you stated in your sticky? Or would I just be better off sticking with the drivers from the Original CD?
What would be the best way to utilize my current HD's?
Your suggestions and input is well appreciated! |
autosteamer is software that will ley you install service pack 2 unto your xp disc.
make a 40 gig parition for windows on the first hdd. you can use the remaining 24 for games and or software. there is really no benefit for putting games and software on another partition
make a 5 gig partition at the beginning of the 2nd hdd for your page file. then make the rest for your documents. the pf should alway be at the beginning of a hdd for faster access. it's impossible for you to put it before your first os drive with xp. you can with vista
