Re: Help me decide - How would you do it?
First of all, ditch the 4gb drive as I'm assuming it is an old drive and therefore has a slower rpm and less cache than the others and the fact that you've installed the os on it means you've already slowed down your system. By how much, who knows. Another tip is to put your paging file on a different disk to your system files. Also, smaller partitions are better than larger ones and they also have the benefit of allowing you to just format part of the disk if need be instead of the whole disk. The following link has some useful information on setting up hard disks and ways to make them perform better.

The bit about making your paging file fat32 is interesting.

Go to the link below for backup software:

I've got it but never used it so I can't tell you much about it but on the face of it, it looks good enough to do the job.
