I'm running XP Pro on this machine. I've just added a second hard disk, and I've partitioned like this:
Disk 0: 2GB backup (I think this is the systemr restore stuff), 110GB NTFS partition to hold the OS, program files, data, etc.
Disk 1; 2GB to hold the paging files, 110GB NTFS partition that I'm going to put Norton Ghost images of the primary disk on
Would I be better off using Dynamic Disks at all? Not sure I really understand what they are -- the help files mention something about it being a software implementation of RAID level 5, but wouldn't this be better achieved with an IDE RAID controller?
