Ok I was going good for a while and enjoying the Hell outta my rig, that is until I did something and corrupted my system file to the point it was unrecoverable. Well now since I'm starting from scratch again installing software I would like to ask for suggestions setting up my drive configurations. I have currently installed 1 WD 36GB raptor SATAII drive and 2 WD 160GB 7200rpm SATAII Drives. The suggestions I'm looking for would be to find the best possible usage of the drives, lets say I install win xp on the 36GB raptor drive and set the 2 160GB drives in raid0 and use it to install the game apps on. I'm not sure if this would work but it's just a thought, if anyone has any ideas don't hesitate to post.[/code]

DO NOT use RAID 0.

If your machine has a hiccup, the array is gone & all data on the 2 drives. There is no performance gain for gaming.

Putting your OS on a seperate drive is a smart move.
