Hello,
I'm planning a clean install of Win 7 Pro x64. I plan to have the My Documents folder on the D:/ drive. I'm running Intel Rapid Storage Technology RAID 1. So, the C:/ drive and the D:/ drive will be logical disks. I intend to partition the drive so that I have ample size for the OS on the C:/ and the remainder of the available space on the D:/. What is the recommended minimum size for the C:/ drive if all data files will be located on the D:/ drive? Are restore points saved to the C:/ drive as well or can they be saved on another drive?
Thanks you your assistance.
Regards
