Hi Luciel,
When your Windows messes up the hard disk and you only have a single partition, you will lose _all_ your data: system, applications, games, movies, pictures, everything. Then you may think about if, perhaps, multiple partitions are a better choice.  Also, I don't quite understand what you mean my a multi-partition setup being slower. If you ask me, having the system and applications on one hard disk, and games, movues, pictures and the swap file on another hard disk is even better as it distributes load onto two hard disks rather than one. Also, you can make backups of files from one hard disk to the other (poor man's RAID ): if one hard disk fails, you still have the important files on the other.So, I'm not only for a multi-partition but even for a multi-_hard disk_ solution. Damn, another off-topic post...!  Joe

I'm not listening!! The upgrade to xp from 98se was a bit of a snit but now I'm beginning to learn the ins and outs. The only app that wouldn't work is gamehack 2.0 but I found a workaround to force it to work in XP. All in all, it's quite enjoyable as time goes along. COR and HL2 doing great, even BG1! Plus converted to ntfs from fat32 with this on the RUN line, convert c: /fs:ntfs
It did a file integrity check then re-booted to complete the process before windows fully loaded. Only took a few minutes and everything was still there! And to think my brother was duped into reformatting to ntfs. Just think all the progs he had to re-install. HA HA!
