Hey Everyone!
I just built a new PC, Mainly to be be used for autocad and gamming.
My system consists of:
AMD 64+ 3000
1 gig pc3200 ram
160gig sata2 HD
Saphire X700pro video
asus a8n-e mobo
Im using windows xpPRO and want to know if i should partition my hard drive into seperate peices. I think id like to have one partition for windows only, maybe 5-10 gigs, andone partition for games, programs, media files etc. that way if i ever need to reinstal windows for whatever reason i wont loose all my media and program files.
Im wondering, if i do indeed do it that way, unless there is a better route. Can i make the "my documents" and "program files" apear on the second partition, VS being on the windows partition, Mainly because those 2 files by default are what most programs use to instal files, and where most downloads go. and i dont want that to be on the small windows partition.
Thanks for any replies
