About LinkBacks^ I do a very similar thing to that at the moment but without a seperate partition for settings. XP has been fine for 18 months with very little defraging required.

that's a good addition.... cheers
++ It would be nice if Microsoft made Windows support this multi-partitioning schema without hacking up the registry.Ooh, that looks cool...I might give that a shot sometime, see how it goes, thanks
That is probably worthwhile if you are not running out of drive letters on all desktops like me.

looking at your Sig, with pc specs in, that IS a lot of letters!
I thought I was greedy on the disk space front...
Lol i thought i was greedy too..(goes off to count his gigabytes). I might try this partitioning system on my next install.
pls do....mnes doing well
Drive C, E, G and H are WDAAKS 500gig. Drive S is Maxtor dont know which one. Drive T is Hitachi Deskstar. Windows Vista give HDD transfer speed a 5.8.
Are these number any good?

Well, the C drive certainly proves the theory works quite well, as that's your first partition and it's faster than the others
G interests me.....was that un formatted?
What's good tool to test the disk performance? I don't really want to install Nero as I have no other need for it.
HD Tach, SiSandra? (not used that in a while).

G is what was left over from the initial partition which is drive C. So i partitioned the 500GB HDD to a 100GB partition, C, and then G was the 365GB left over. I then took about 28GB and 2GB from the 365GB for Vista.Well, the C drive certainly proves the theory works quite well, as that's your first partition and it's faster than the others

some high-end storage systems (i.e. ours) use this theory in practice - the entire system is made from 7200rpm sata disks, but it exceeds fibre-channel performance by using platter edges for "high priority" data
