The OS and all programs on C All Data on D And a T drive for your system TEMP files/folders and swap file.
This way if windows goes FUBAR you do not lose any of your data. Also If you install programs on anything other than you will often find you have problems somewhere down the line as not all software likes to be installed anywhere other than the default location, and you end up with broken registry entries, file links and god knows what else.

I currently have Inetpub on the existing C: master drive with CF installed in here and any website folder in here also - including all web related media files (pics, videos as well as htm, cfm files etc). I would like to have all sites and media files reside on the new media disk if possible. I am not sure exactly where to install what when I reformat and reinstall XP, IIS and CF. 1. Should I put IIS and Inetpub/wwwroot back on the C: Master with XP even though all my site folders will be on D: Slave ? 2. Should I install CF7 on the C Master disk also? I currently have it on C: but the CFIDE folder and CFDOCS folder are withing C:/inetpub 3. Is it ok to put all site folders (e.g. as would be defined as sites in DWMX or whatever) on the new D: Slave disk in a folder such as My Webs and access all the sites related files from here? This all sounds a bit 'back to basics' but I have not been in this situation before !? -- Rich ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Introducing the Fusion Authority Quarterly Update. 80 pages of hard-hitting, up-to-date ColdFusion information by your peers, delivered to your door four times a year. http://www.fusionauthority.com/quarterly Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/message.cfm/messageid:255244 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4
