Amateur seeking advice on HDs!

[avnos]

Hi [H]ard,

I'm not very meticulous when it comes to my computer but I would like some tips on what I SHOULD do this time around and what advantages it may bring?

I currently have the following HDs: 160 GB / 8MB buffer and a 320 GB / 16 MB buffer.
Tomorrow I should have a 650GB or so / 32 MB buffer hd.

I game store music and make videos mainly.

What would you guys recommend me doing in this case? Should I use one of the older drives as a boot (running win XP still)?

Or should I just use the new 650 as my boot/game HD and the 320 for media? ( I won't be using up 650 anytime soon I don't think, currently using about 300 GB up atm and this is with a lot of games I dont even play anymore. So on a fresh install this will drop a ton.

Never have really bothered with partitions anything I'm missing out on here?

Thanks,
Av

IMO, use your 320GB drive for the boot and the 650 for storage. Move the 160GB to an external case for backing up important data.
