My budget box will have Windows 7 (Home Premium 64-bit) and Lightroom 3 installed on it by this weekend, but I thought I would get your advise on hard drive set-up/partitioning (if necessary) etc.
I have an internal 7200 rpm Samsung Spinpoint F3 1TB drive. I also have a couple of older/slower internal HDs that I could make use of (optionally). I think they are a 160GB and a 320GB ATA and PATA drive. I also will be using LaCie Minimus 2 TB hard drives externally via USB 3.0. I plan to put all of my photos on one and use the other for backup. Windows is not my strong suit and this will be my first experience with Windows 7. I'm mostly wondering how best to make use of the internal HD(s) as far as partitioning goes or putting what where. This is not a God Box, so references to stuff I don't have will probably be less-than-helpful. FWIW, I will be getting Photoshop CS5 in the future also. Any words of wisdom would be appreciated.
