Hard disks are cheap, but the benefit of a logical partition on another drive is that it does not get fragmented if you only use it for temporary files, and, more important, it prevents your main drive/partition getting very fragmented. My C drive is my boot and program disk, D is for picture data, and G is a partition on the G drive for temporary files... but I will get another disc of two, or keep my existing machine as a print/net server and get a fast machine. =============================================================== GO TO http://www.prodig.org for ~ GUIDELINES ~ un/SUBSCRIBING ~ ITEMS for SALE
