OK so I'm putting together a barebones system, nothing special (amd 1.2g) but dang cheap, and I'm playing around to learn before I spend a lot. What I'm looking for is advice on a non-RAID hd setup. I've purchased a 60g WD 7200 ata 100, and am to believe that adding another hd, and putting a pagefile at the front of it would be a good thing. Any comments on 1 hd vs 2, partition setup, optimal size for the second hd (I was thinking 40g, with a small partition for pagefile and then a larger one for general storage), and/or what to put where within the partitions? I'll be running xp home, mostly for internet access (att cable modem), but I'm an amateur photographer just getting into digital photography and look to play with graphic applications more and more. Thanks in advance for any comments or suggestions.
