Hi,
I currently only have one 5 year old 200Gb hard drive in my system. Although I have a server that regularly creates a backup of my computer I'm not too keen on keeping all my eggs in one basket so to speak. To fix this I'm looking at getting a pair of new drives, one for the OS and the other for storage.

The thing is that I've never let windows split its stuff over 2 drives before so I have a question. What other than My Documents (if anything) is fine to be moved over to the storage drive? I'm running XP at the moment
 
Thanks for taking the effort to answer.
By home directory you mean the one containing all the user junk like my documents right?

If I'm honest I'm a home user and don't really need any redundancy in my computer as I have a server that can just plop an image back onto the computer if and when needed.

One other thing I'm wondering about is if I have all my data on another drive and decide to upgrade XP to 7 as I want to I guess it's just a case of telling it where "My Documents" is right?
