Hey everyone. I have a question.
I have just formatted my hard drive and am going to install Windows on it again.
I am wondering, is it beneficial to partition my harddrive and install the OS to a small partition (say, D: drive), and save all my documents and programs to another (C: drive)? If so, How?
Also, with this method, I'm pretty sure I have seen other computers (like the ones that are pre-fab from, say, HP or COMPAQ) set up so that the program files directory are on one partition, while windows info is on another. If this is a good way to do it, how do I make Windows automatically choose the partition that I am saving all my information to (make windows save to C: when installed on D: ), when I go to save something from the internet? If this makes no sense, I can try to explain better what i'm talking about.. but hopefully someone will know what i mean. Is this even possible??
Any help or suggestions would be appreciated!
