Can I combind system reserved and a backup partition
The questions I have below are related to Disk Management Please help me with them.
I've added another HDD to my system. On my older HDD which is 1 TB, 3Gb/s,w/64Mb of cashe. I have two partitions on it called System Reserved (100 Mb) and Back Up Disk (250 Gb). The newer HDD is 1 TB, 6Gb/s w/32Mb of cashe.
My PC will handle the 6 Gb/s transfer rate.
Should I put these partitions on the newer faster drive?
Can I and/or should I combine these partitions?
If I can combine them what size should I make a new Partition @150GB?
Do I need to turn on the hidden file if I move Sys. Reserved?
If I move Sys. Res. do I need to do anything so my PC can find it?
One way or the other I thing Sys. Res. needs to be bigger @300MB?
Can I just Expand the size of the Sys. Res. Partition if I don't move it?
Several of the questions above will also relate to the moving the BackUp files too.
Please let me know if I need to do anything there to make that transfer work. I've estimated what i think the size of the partitions above should be, should I change them?
Down the road I'd like to multl boot with Linux and XP Pro
I'm using Windows 7 64b Ultimate it's on a SSD all by itself
Thanks for the help.
