    I have my drive partitioned into 3 parts, one for windows and programs, one for my music backups, and one for my DVD rips+miscelanious programs/software/drivers backups. If I format c:, will I have to format the other drives upon reinstall? I've never partitioned my drive before, so this is new to me...

    TIA :)

    Nope, the other partitions should remain intact.

    Actually make sure you don't partition the drive again, just a format will do. (just incase)

    Nope, and thats the beauty of parititioning. If windows goes legs up, you just format your windows partition, and everything else stays nice and safe in the other 2 partitions you created.

    Windows XP works fine for me with a 6.5gig partition, which only contains windows and all other stuff that absolutly HAS to go to the windows driver, everything else goes into my other partition.

    Will this work on a RAID0 setup as well?
