My C: drive is only 510MB, FAT16, with a 8KB cluster size. Keeps those small system files from hogging the whole drive. The rest of my two hard disks are divided into 5 other FAT16 drives, with a 1GB partition for Win2K, formerly used by WinNT. If I have any problem with a single drive, I can always copy the data on it to another drive, and reformat the problem drive, as long as it isn't C: of course. I hate that so many programs are written to install to C: drive automatically. And so many small programs don't even give an option to install to another drive. I only want system data or programs on C:. Reference on D:, Games on G:, Apps on H:, and a 300MB I: drive for my swap file, just to keep it orderly. -- Aaron Marks
