OK, I need to do a re-install of XP, but I wanted to check I have afew things setup right from the start..
I have two 40gb harddrives, both identical models (Maxtor D740X), DVD drive & CDRW drive.
Should I have both HDDs on one IDE port and the DVD & CDRW drives on the other, or should I mix them?
Should I create pagefiles on both HDDs or just the main one that will have XP system files? I have 512mb memory, so should I leave it at the default of 768mb?
Should I use an ATA-133 controller for the D740X drives, or the onboard ATA-100.. I ask cos the controller drivers ARE NOT XP certified.
Please get back to me today if poss. I want to install tonight.
Cheers
