I just got the second one and am re-configuring/ re-installing to incorporate it. The plan was to have two partitions on the raptor. 10-12GB for the OS and the rest for games/apps. The 160 will be media and general storage. Is that the right thing to do with the raptor? I thought for sure I wanted the OS on it's own partition like that and was wondering the best way to install apps/games on the other partition when I heard that I just want one partition. So, one or two partitions and content in each?

yeah, thats smart thinking. Put the OS on one partition and games on the other. Keep all your important data on a second drive (raid 1 if possible). This way if you need to wipe your OS etc you will be fine. Just make sure you have enough room on the c: ... I get lazy and leave files there and it won't go too far if you allot just 10GB |
