okay... i've tried a bunch of different ways of working w/ my 2 hard drives
-250gb caviar
carries media files and windows vista... 2 partitions, windows vista, and then the media files
-74gb raptor
carries games and windows xp (1 partition)
now this setup has sucked.. lol, so i'm wondering something better to do... what i was thinking.. was creating 3 partition on my caviar... 1 for xp 1 for vista and 1 for my media
while the raptor is just run as completely games.. because i've come to find.. games eat a CRAPLOAD of space nowadays... when 1 game takes up about 3 gigs... thats insane!! then we got Steam.... and i have just about every HL game ever made.. including the old originals.. that too takes up a hefty amount...
anyway... does anyone have any better ideas.. or does mine sound okay?
i've always had my games on the raptor.. so i don't really know the difference between load-up times on the raptor and on the caviar...
but i have had my operating system on both.. and having it on the raptor did make a bit of a time difference... less bars loading windows.. thats pretty much it.. so i'm willing to toss that out...
