Hi guys. Basically I have 2 Hard drives. 1st WD 640GB and 2nd. Seagate 7200.10 320GB
Im using the 640GB As the Primary drive with Vista 64 installed in it.
I made the 1st partition on the drive 45G(Primary) and the second is for games etc at 550Gb(Logical)
On the 320GB Seagate I was going to use it for just Movies/Videos .. Downloads .. and was thinking about putting the Pagefile on it. ATM, I have it set w/3 partitions.
First 4.7 GB Pagefile (Primary) 2nd 275 GB for Videos(Logical) 3rd 18GB for Downloads (Logical)
So, My questions here are a couple things.
1st. Should I have only 1 Primary partition w/is the OS? Or should the 1st Partition on the 2nd drive (Pagefile) be a Primary as well?
2nd: Should I totaly Disable Pagefile on Drive C(OS) and have only on 2nd drive ... split them or all on second drive?
I have researched this and have found different opinions when using 2 drives. Some say Its best to leave a small pagefile on C of 512 -1GB no matter what and some say disable and use 2nd drive only. Others have said regardless of howmany drives always put PF on fastest disk .. which in my case is the main one, WD.
I used Acronis Disk Manager to set it up And its showing the WD drive as 1st Primary and second as extended logical.
It also had Drive 2 as all extended logical ... but I changed 1st to Primary.
Any advice appreciated TY
**EDIT ... One other question about assigning the drive letters. Is it true that the 1 st Partition of each drve be assigned 1st? In my case Disk 1 as C where OS is and disk 2 partition where pagefile is should be D?? Or does it matter?
