System and Data on same Hard Drive?
My friend has just bought a new computer, actually a well specified ex display Dell, from Currys. I have just had a look at it. The hard disk (I presume there is only one) is partitioned into two drives- a C(OS) drive, being a nominal 450Gb, and a D(Recovery) drive, which is 14.9Gb.
Now, my own set-up, totalling 1Tb, consists of three hard drives- C being 200Gb, and F and G, which are each 400Gb. My C drive is used for system and programmes, with the others being, respectively, my data and backup drives. That way, I know that, in the event of a crash, my data is safe.
I have reservations about my friend’s system and data being on the same drive. Am I being over-cautious?
