My question relates to windows performance and HDD.
A hardware tech told me that as I have a 120 Gb HDD then I should partition it. Half for Windows Operations and half for storage of files etc.
Another person told me Windows performance is controlled by one thing only RAM and that the HDD somehow enhances performance is an urban myth.
I myself want to re-partition with about 10Gb allocated to windows as some disaster or other regularly happens and I always seem to be re-formatting and this way protects my Library of programs/games/study /MP3 etc.
So......
If I allocate more HDD space to windows will XP whiz along better??
