I have read so many different opinions on using mulitiple partitions on your HDD. Some things I do not understand.
1. If your OS is on its own partition and gets messed up, when you format and fresh install the OS, you will still need to reinstall ALL of your Apps, even if they are on a seperate partition, to put the entries back in the registry.
2. Page File. From what I gather, the placement of the Page File from best to worst:
Separate HDD on Separate IDE Cable
Separate HDD on Same IDE Cable
Different Partition on Same HDD as everything
Same Partition on Same HDD as everything
Can someone recommend any good articles and benchmark info on my above comments? Is the real world performance difference worth using Non Raid Multiple HDD??
