I wonder if you could give your opinion on the following musing? -
With split HDs, it is normal to use the C drive for OS and Progs and D and E for data and back-ups respectively. If (as I do), you use Fdisk to delete the drives and re-install, the sequence has to be, delete E, then D, then C, then reverse that sequence for the new drives. If the allocations were reversed, i.e. Back-ups on C, data on D and OS and progs on E, Fdisk'ing could delete E and re-install without deleting the other two drives - much saving of time etc. It could be that OSs MUST be on the C drive but I can't remember where that constraint would be stipulated. Your thoughts would be appreciated
TIA
