Re: Logical and Physical disk drives

Logical disks:

Does it help to partition your 40 Gb C:\ into two 20 Gb partitions (C:\
and
D:\)? If I had an application that only wrote to D:\ (and lets say, for
arguments sake, that the app writes frequently to disk), would the
partition
help reduce the likelihood of OS corruption?

No.

Would it reduce disk fragmentation?

Only if the specific partition were being used less, but it's no big deal.

Physical disks:

On a related note, does having two physical drives help with the above?
Presumably with file fragmentation it would, but what about helping with
OS
corruption?

No.
