| 1122156 | 2010-07-24 23:39:00 | Hi Guys, I just bought an Asus G50VT-A1. 2x 250GB 7200 onboard. The OS is being freshly installed. The stock setup is OS on one and data on the other. Seems a waste to not pull the OS into a smaller partition ? no idea about raid despite reading wiki ;) Planning to use it for photo storage and editing and of course Grand Prix Legends :D thanks for any clues :) Pete |

| 1122158 | 2010-07-24 23:50:00 | Simply reduce the partition size on the Drive with the OS down to what you want, create a new partition on that drive. Are the HDD's set up as some sort of raid already, or simply as two separate Hdd's ? (what type of RAID are you after) |

What's the advantage of putting OS in one partition and programs in another? Or you have any special reasons for doing so? |

First partition contains O/S AND Programs. Second Partition is Data. The other physical drive is an image of the boot drive with both partitions. |
