How to install new OS?

[doggyfromplanetwoof]

Hey,

I have a 120GB 8mb 7200rpm IDE drive
and a 320GB 16mb 7200rpm sata drive.

Whats the best way to install vista/programs/games/pagefiles on these?

Right now I have XP/programs/pagefile on the 120
and games/music/video on the 320.

I was thinking of vista/programs/games on the 320
and music/video/pagefile on the 120.

Would that be a better deal?

P.s. What would be the best way to do the partitions? If any?

Vista on a fastest drive (320GB SATA) along with programs and games. Paging file on a 120GB drive (primary partition only big enough for it) along with all your stationary data on a second primary partition. Install system, update, defragment, install programs+games+updates , configure them, defragment again. If downloading large amounts of data at all times on background use 120GB disk to store temp/partial torrents/downloads.
