Just about to install windows 7 (which harddrive)

Hi am about to install windows 7 and want to know which hard drive I should install it on.

I have a WD raptor 74gb and a 500gb samsung drive.

Does it make a difference if I install W7 on my raptor but install games and keep music etc on my Samsung? As 74gb would be full very quick

I have my Os (7)on my smallest drive and all my "savins" on my Biggie

aye, raptor and keep the larger drive for your data

Seems like an easy choice to me but I'd never fill a 70gb with all my os and apps, even if I did I would install some on the bigger drive
os on the raptor tho

Is it brand new? It may require a format

Nope but found the problem when I went to format it. It needed labeled.

Thanks
