I currently have 2 SATA drives - one containing windows and all my programs - the other my Documents , movies, pics, music etc.
Firstly - is this a sensible setup - I have my Page file on the 2nd drive (advice I've read in a couple of places)
Secondly - I want to re install windows - will I be able to do this reformatting just the 1st drive - and keeping the data on the 2nd - will windows recognise the 2nd SATA drive without need for a reformat of it?
Once I have reformatted where's the best places to store data - should Windows be kept on a separate drive to my programs - or is this unnecessary?
I do have most of the stuff of the 2nd drive backed up but would like to keep it as is to save time - and just to see if its possible.
