Is it possible to split my System Files and Program Files.

Say I have an 80GB SSD drive and a 2TB storage HDD.

On the 80GB SSD I want to store all my windows system data so it all boots off the SSD then everything else is run off any of my other Hard Drives. So I can have different harddrives for movies games and music etc.

Is this possible?

Yes, Simply Set your 80GB HDD as your primary, And your 2TB as a secondary, If your using SATA, then this is diffrent, Set it to SATA0 and SATA1. I Suggest using RAID If you can.

Hey, thanks man for quick reply, Cool I'll get it worked out.

I haven't exactly looked into RAID. Wanna give me an explaination?

RAID Is basicly, Is spreads all your files into peices throughout each harddrive, That way, if a file is currupt, or damaged, The RAID System can rebuild the file.

When you install any software, just do custom and select where you want it to install; which would be your 2TB hd. Thats what i do, cause i like to keep my sys files and my programs etc separate.

But he cannot use the raid 0 configuration, because his hard drives need to be the same size. Raid is not going to be necessary for him because he just wants to separate his system files and programs files and those two hdds will do that perfectly.

True, I Only suggested raid, I Gave him the correct Setup for what he needs.

p.s Hal, im happy theirs another PC Nerd on the forums!

Ok guys, another question (might as well rename topic to PC questions)..

I am deciding to design my own custom liquid cooling system instead of using the Thermaltake ProWater 880i. I am looking at at radiator 140x1. This radiator is what I am looking at getting, what else do I need to get for this, a fan? As the radiator for the Thermaltake ProWater 880i has fans on it. Thank you for your help already.
