Hi, I have installed win xp in my system several times. It seems like I have problem with some of my softwares. I was advised by my friend that if I stalled the OS and the drivers only in one hard drive and all other programs in another hard drive, it will eliminate the confilict and the machine will run better. Is this true?
No, not at all. There's really very little point in having a separate drive or partition for just applications. Should you have to reinstall the OS, you'll still have to reinstall each and every application and game anyway, in order to recreate the hundreds (possibly thousands) of registry entries and to replace the dozens (possibly hundreds) of essential system files back into the appropriate Windows folders and sub-folders. Installing applications to a separate partition is a useful solution only if your system partition lacks sufficient space for all of your applications, and cannot be resized.
However, placing data files on a partition or physical hard drive separate from the operating system and applications can greatly simplify system repairs/recoveries and data back-up.
