new harddrive questons
I just purchased a new 160 gig hard drive. What is the best way to configure the hard drive. A friend of mine suggested the following:
20 gig - Drive C Windows operating system only
5 gig swapfile
Remainder for files and applications
I'm no expert, but here is my comuter info:
Intel Pentium 4. 3.0GHz Socket-478. 800 FSB CPU
PC 3200 512/slot
I have 1gig of memory. but not for sure what all of this means. is what I have good?
Does anybody know what services are safe to disable or set to manual? Also, what recommendations to use as far as turning off themes, using a screen saver, power setting options, i want to get the best optimization possible.

On this part of your request I have found considerable informative help at the following web site:

He has lots of info on the services and which can be reset to manual or disabled, it was updated just after the SP2 update and at this point I have had no problems with his suggestions
