the difference is clearly visable now though !!!!!

Cant believe how quick the feckers running, and also before I rebuilt it too PM about 45 minutes to create a drive and transfer space from C to it, last night after rebuilding I created a drive in about 10 minutes after the rebuild.

Totally buzzing :)

Ive now got 3 drives c,d,e

C - for Operating System and firewall, antivirus ect
D - Tunes, Videos, Cracks, Softwar patches, Windows patches ect
E - Games

This way when I rebuild again all i need to do is simply format C and I dont need to fuck about tunes and shit :D

Sounds like a neat idea Cam, usually when I plan a rebuild, I borrow a second HDD from someone, copy all important things over and then reformat with a zero fill. I run the Win XP CD and it detects a raw drive I select a partition size for for the primary partition ie (30gb). I then install XP and when its done and dusted I right click on my computer/manage/hard disks and create the extra partitions from there - so no fannying around with extra software.
I have: 30gb for op sys and apps
50gb for Video:hubba:
50gb for Audio
30gb for Downloadsandwares:eyebrow:

No problems whatsoever,

Andy
