Drive Partitioning-- What would you do???

[ChiefWiggum]

After I reinstalled Win98SE a few months back, I decided to repartition my hard drives.

HD#1: 15GB, ATA66, Drive C: 4GB + Drive E: 11GB
HD#2: 8GB, ATA66, Drive D: 8GB

Drive C has Win98 and drivers. Drive D has MP3 and Winamp.
Drive E has games.

Unfortunately, Win98 splits HD#1 into 2 non-consecutive drive letters (C,E) while HD#2 is D. I can't change it. Or, I don't know how.

My problem is I've noticed a general system slowdown in applications from when I just had a large C (C+E now) and the small D(same).

I wanted to separate Win98 to it's own partition, so if I had re-install; it would not affect anything else. Now, I am wondering if I should have done this at all.

What are your thoughts??

Please take a look at my rig below for specs. Any suggestion would be greatly appreciated.

Sorry Chief, I really don't see why that would have caused a slowdown...I have mine partitioned so just windows is on C:, and I haven't had any problems. Did you change anything else when adding the new drive? What speed is the new drive?

Uninstall stuff on E:
Delete the E: partition. (Partition Magic)
Resize C: to consume the entire drive. (Partition Magic)
Reinstall items from E: onto C:
