Going to reinstall some advice please

[Soupyuk]

Am going to wipe everything of and reinstall as I have a lot of crap floating about and the pc getting a tad slow now.
I have a couple of questions would appreciate your views..

I have 2 160 gig drives running in raid and 1 160 gig as storage. Would it be easier to have 1 drive running windows keep other drive as storage and use second raid for programs as I have not seen any advantage for the raid in a year.

Also some of the big programs like Half life 2 can I take the folder and move to storage drive wipe disk then move folder back to save on a 3 hour patch download same as the e-mail folders?

Also does a program like Office need to be on the main drive to run or can I put it on the storage drive and still run it on there?

I would copy the files u want to keep onto cd or other hard drive.

Things like office I would put on C: drive and use other dive as storage.
I would have all windows and setup files on one drive. Keep it as basic as you need it, windows, Office and other basics.

The games are all fine to move the folders back into the dir when clean instal completed. It will overwrite the existing files and put the oters in the needed dir
