Erika, if you can spring for separate hard disks (maybe a a set of smaller
individual drives?), you would be better off to give a dedicated physical
hard disk to each of these components so that they don't contend with each
other for access to the same physical disk.
You'll avoid things like the OS trying to get a page from the swap file at
the same time that a streaming file is acessed while SQL Server is fetching
data from disk. It also adds some redundancy so that a failing drive will
not wipe out your whole system.
That said, if it's a low traffic server you'll probably be fine ! :-)

Subject: New Server....
Hi guys!
Looking for some input....got a new server.
Dell 2400
Win2k, SQL 2000, CFAS 4.5, WebBoards (O'Reilly)
36 gig HD
512 MB RAM
This is my proposed configuration for partitions: (yes, all num's are
rounded off, realize it's not exact)
c: 8 GIG <--- OS
d: 8 GIG <-- IIS/web folders (16 domains)
e: 10 GIG <-- SQL server
f: 10 GIG <-- streaming files
We are going to use Windows Media player to stream some small powerpoint
presentations to a small group of people (very low usage, maybe 1-5 people a
day, at the most)
Haven't done a full install of a web server in awhile, (other than
development, and all on one drive), so my partition thinking is extremely
rusty....
Am I ok with this configuration? Any other suggestions?
(I have NO OPTIONS - which means while I wish I could put SQL server on it's
own machine, it's not going to happen. Likewise for the streaming files.
Luckily, it's really a low traffic server.)
Many, many thanks and a blueberry muffin to boot!
Erika
