i just got this cheetah 15.3k drive working, but my brother said taht partitioning it would cause a slight loss of performance (i want to put xp on a 1gb partition). is there any weight to what he said?

different question, but i'm partitioning it now. 1gb to windows lol. makes for an effortless reinstall later, losing no data. gotta love stripping down ur xp install to a little over 500mb, rest is for page file

Page file on the same partition, not to mention the same drive, as your system?:confused:

My Windows folder alone is 3.2GB :(

How on earth is it that size? :Q
