Before you get too far... I suggest reformatting again, and creating 2 partitions. Make one of them 6 GB, call it C. Make the other the rest of the drive, call it D or something. Install ONLY Windoze on the C drive. Install everything else on D, and save all files on D. When Windoze fails in the future, all you have to do is reformat the C partition and reinstall Windoze. All data will still be there on the D partition.

And make the D partition FAT, not NTFS - that way if you ever decide to switch to Linux, you won't have a hassle getting your data to the new system

Thats my arrangement, altho I have 2 seperate drives. C: was purchased with stability and warranty as main choice factors. D: was purchased for size and speed. I really think that arrangment is why I have no problems running older games that other people complain wont run on their WinXP. C: being NTFS is great for the Win OS and windows applications like Word or Excell, and any really new super-package applications. D: being FAT (well FAT32 actually) seems to be great for all my never-die favorite games, old disc management software that I dont want to give up and learn something new, etc etc.
