If you go back to a 120 GB hd, have you thought about how long it is going to take you to AV Scan, Defrag, run scandisk or other analytical programs on a 120 GB hd VS segmented runs on small partitions ?
Further, if you keep all your data files on a 2nd "data" partition, then it is much simpler to backup just that partition than backup the whole 120 Gb partition or to try to sort out the data files to backup. You do backup your priceless data files, don't you? Homer --- Dianna <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > When you install a new program...install it to your > D:/ drive.
