[QUOTE="sirius, post: 584771, member: 258"] Hello peeps..... .....I have a system I built a few years ago. What I wanna do is reformat it and reinstall windows, and also re-divide my partitions. In January, I wanna order some extra RAM. Ive done it before, the reformatting and partitioning, but Ive added another drive since then, and I dont want any mistakes. I run two SATA disks, an 80GB Samsung and a 250 GB Seagate Barracuda, and whatever happens I dont wanna cock up the second drive. Its the first one I wanna rejiggle. Im thinking of unplugging the second drive altogether off the main board, then after installing windows, turning the PC off again and reattching the cable. Would this be okay, or is it better if I just left it in place whilst windows finds everything the first time around?. I havent opened my case for ages, but I believe I have some spare RAM slots. How do I know which type they are so I can order another? Do I need to buy two or will one suffice. Im on 1gb of RAM using an AMD Athlon XP3200+ (2.19ghz). I want to add another gb of Ram, in the hope that it will let me play more Virtual Instruments in Cubase etc, cos right now my PC is crawling (hence the reformat, its not usually so slow). But even when it does run normal speed, you only need to load 7 VST's and it starts flaking. Would RAM achieve this, or is it more CPU I need (I hope not). Im not sure what Im looking for. But anyway, the reformat and partition is the first thing. Plus, when Ive got all the essentials on for a fresh Install, whats the BEST program to save me doing it every time? Some sort of clone software you can work inside windows xp? Id need to get that before I start! Just thought Id sound things out before I wiperooney the whole caboodle ta Sirius [/QUOTE]
