OS on a logical drive by itself?
I've often heard that the OS should be on a drive (logical drive) by
itself so that, when it gets a problem, you can just re-install a new copy of the OS on that drive. However, isn't the OS modified when you install programs? Where would you install them? Can someone explain the procedure for this and how it works? It has always confused me and, if if works as I understand, I'd like to try it. |

It takes a bit of knowledge and experience to know which applications can survive an OS reinstall and which cannot. As a rule, I'd install programs on the OS drive and expect to reinstall programs. Yes, I'm beginning to understand and I believe you're right. |
