OT: Win98/system HD partitioning advantages

OT: Win98/system HD partitioning advantages

1999-10-03 by Dedric Terry

With a 2-HD (one for system and apps, the other for audio data only) Win98
LAWP system, is there any advantage/disadvantage to partitioning the system
drive to separate Win98 and audio applications. I do already have a separate
drive for audio data, but wonder if separating Windows from apps might
prevent severe fragmentation and possibly corrupted files if Win crashes (I
have had this happen, and even lost my system drive due to Windows
corrupting clusters, and then the medium, beyond Norton's ability to
repair).  I couldn't find an archive for the mailing list, but I'm sure this
has been covered at one time - sorry for the repeat - I'm rebuilding my
system later today/tomorrow.

Thanks,
