getting a new slave, what are the best options
In about a week I'll be ready to install a new slave drive. The master will hold, of course, the OS, as well as utility programs and be the primary center for virtual memory. All games will be on the slave, where most of the room is, and most of the room is taken up. And because I know the OS is not on the slave, then I can safely deleted anything from the slave. Also downloaded files will be placed on the slave, as well as MP3s.
So what is usually the best way to handle this in this day and age:
Have the master as C:, and the slave as D:? This would help with origanization a lot.
OR
Combine then as C:? I never knew this was possible until a friend told me. It sounds good, but can get a bit messy. I do not install games, and even most utilities in the program files. I install things in their own folders.
Also, are there any other, perhaps better options when setting up slave? I'll be calling in tech support (hey, it's free ) to help with the installation, but I want to make sure I know that they know how I want it to be setup in the system.
