Hello... DAW setup

[stoo]

Have spent the last few months researching how to build my own computer. It is to be used for music production... (and a little video)

Its actualy built already too...

Sonata 2
Asus P5B
Core2 E6600
2 x seagate 250 7200.10
Geforce 7300 gt
M-Audio Delta 44.

I have XP sitting here but still a lot to learn before diving in

There are a few options available regarding how to set up my hard drives and was hoping to come back to this thread during my research for some pointers.

First rough thoughts are...

1 drive for OS/Programs and the other for samples/projects. Might be better in a Raid as I will only use Ableton/Reason which is far from 250 gb

Any advice from you lot would be great. Im off to scroll through all your old posts now!

cheers

So I guess now my question is how best and if at all should I partition my drives?

2x 250 gb........ one for OS/programs and the other for samples/audio.

Should I partition the OS from Ableton/Reason etc?

Should I partition my samples/audio project drive

Im actualy lucky to have got my hands on a DAT drive from my old man... pinched it from a broken server at work that was gathering dust! Should come in handy for back ups and I have loads of old DAT recordings from college/sound engineering days.

Cheers folks

Should still come in handy though.
