The new drive is 7200. The "old" 10gb is about 2 years old and is 7200
as well.

Hi Glenda
This is tough, is the 80gig a 5400 or 7200rpm?  if new drive is faster,
I'd like everything on the 80; use the 10 for storage, the 10 gig must
be several years old...maybe use as a backup drive. <paul>

I'm getting an upgrade to my business system here at school to include
512 RAM and an 80 gb HD.  Yippee!

I will also have a 10 gb HD on the same system.

I plan to reformat and reload all my software from scratch...you know,
fresh start and all.

My question is how should I set this system up to get the best
performance from Office?  I work mostly with LARGE files...databases in
Access, workbooks in Excel, graphics and animations in PowerPoint, etc.

The OS is WinXP (Pro) on Novell NT with Office XP, including MSPublisher
and Outlook Exchange.

Should the 10gb drive be the boot drive with the apps on the 80gb drive?
Just use the 80 for storage of the large files?
