Opulent Posted May 8, 2004 go to your RUN box over your START button and type: 'explorer' some programs are hard coded to use certain directories, but overall you can choose where most programs install and download to. and if this is a joke question: May the Title and Avatar gods do their worst on you. :) 0 Share this post Link to post

Sephiroth Posted May 9, 2004 well i think you are talking about 2 160GB drives. well depends on how your set them up. in a standard master/slave setting. you will have a choice of 2 physical devices. you will have to choose which one you use. in a RIAD setup they can act as a single drive. you either need a RAID card or a mother board with RAID support. Also i think a raid will also allow you to 'image' a drive. however, i have never really messed with a RIAD setup the number of letter 'drives' (in windows) is based on how you partition the drive. you could have 4 'letter drives' but only 1 physical hard drive. 0 Share this post Link to post
Quasar Posted May 9, 2004 You're right, but the proper term for a "letter" drive is a logical drive ;) 0 Share this post Link to post
pritch Posted May 12, 2004 I'm not sure Revo19 isn't maybe talking about partitions? Perhaps you could re-phrase. 0 Share this post Link to post
