I am in the process of setting up a new system and I'm getting ready to install all my progies. I have set-up 2x Raptors in Raid 0 (partioned 10 gig OS) the rest of 60GB partition in Raid 0 for All Progies/games. I also have a third drive - (WD 250GB SATA).
I was wondering if I can just create my own folder and file structure on the remaining 60GB partition on Raid 0, and can I install my progries into my folder of choice.
E.G. - Graphics-(for all graphics progies), - Games-(for all game progies), - Toolbox - (All bench, diag. utilities, etc.). - I also will be nesting some folders.
I've heard that some progies will not work if you install them in different folders other than Windows/Program Files?
Also, is it possible to relocate the Windows My Documents folder? I would like to move it to the WD 250gb drive, Is it possible?
Last, but not least - Will it work/be able to run game progies installed on 60GB partition Raid 0, and then have cd images of the games on WD 250GB drive for playing?
I appreciate all of your help, I'm currently burning in my system with Prime95, and I will be installing in about a day. Please let me know if there are any advantages or dis-advantages to the way I'm setting up my system/Folder-File Structure, or any comments or suggestions for improving.
Thanks in advance...
