Hi crowdaddy00,

Will you be storing other files than the programs (MP3s, videos, etc.)? If so, I would install WinXP and programs on the 10GB drive and use the 40GB for data file storage. Otherwise, just put everything on the 40GB and use the 10GB for extra overflow. Hope that helps.

I would use the 10GB as the system drive too - and the 40g as the data drive.
