2 HDD install
Hi,
I just recently upgraded my computer (home-built) to have 3 Hard Drives, one 37.6 GB WD Raptor and 2 500 GB HDD all are Sata and the 2-500's are in a RAID 0 config. my laptop (an Acer) has some setting where there is a partition for just the OS and then everything else is just the raw data, but the OS partition is hidden from everything until you look at the "manage" option from the computer right-click. I was wondering if there was a way for my Raptor to have that same option and basically have the 1 TB of space be my "C" Drive, or if I have to install all of my programs into the D drive like I did before.

The C drive is usually your o/s / boot drive
You dont say what drive the o/s is installed on & boots from. By raw data you mean simply data files? "david.dellsperger" wrote in message ...

The "some setting where there is a partition for just the OS" is the Acer recovery partition. It is for restoring your Acer to factory condition. There is nothing about it you can use on your desktop.
