Conan, that gives me an idea. I have an older, but still excellent 30 gig hard drive just sitting on the shelf right now (7200 rpm & 8Mb buffer). Maybe I'll put it to use and the C: drive with the OS, the page file and the programs together on that. Then I can use the 80 gig drive as the slave drive for my music and data. That way the drive heads aren't jumping around like they have to do with partitions.
