Got a new build coming, 2 x WD 500GB AAKS drives.
Will be installing just XP for now but will probably dual boot with Vista in the near future.
What would be the best partioning scheme...?
Say...
15GB partition on disk 1 for XP boot
remaining space on disk 1 for programs and games
4GB or so partition on disk 2 for pagefile
remaining space on disk 2 for data files, video, music etc.
If I want to dual boot Vista in the future, should I create a second (say 25GB) partition after the first on disk 1 ready for it, remaining space for programs and games etc. If so, what about the Vista pagefile, is it named the same as XP and so couldn't go in the pagefile partition on disk 2? in which case leave another partition on disk 2 for a future Vista pagefile or could it go in the same partition (assuming I made it larger to begin with)
Cheers...
Any issues with installing XP(sp2) to 500GB SATA drives?
