Re: Partitioned drives
I keep as much data as possible away from the Windows system partition, which makes backing up the system state very easy and quick.

Re: Partitioned drives
When I have finished rescuing all my important shit I will be keeping as much stuff as possible away from the windows partition full stop. Windows is going to be for gaming only everything else is going on the linux side

Re: Partitioned drives
On the Windows partition, "Documents and Settings" will still contain some personal information and program settings, even if you try and keep all the data it on another partition.Eichmann Zyklon B wrote:When I have finished rescuing all my important shit I will be keeping as much stuff as possible away from the windows partition full stop.

Apparently, it is possible to have "Documents and Settings" on a partition other than the Windows system partition, but it's a bit tricky:

Re: Partitioned drives
you misunderstand. I will be using windows like a console. Everything else will be done in linux. I just wish they would get linux gaming sorted so I could drop the shit altogether

Re: Partitioned drives
I'm not a big gamer, and most of the games that I do have are quite old. So I can't t really comment on this ... but I will.Eichmann Zyklon B wrote:you misunderstand.

I just can't imagine there being a rush to port many games to Linux, no matter how much better an environment it might be for running games, technically speaking. I'd like to see it happen, but I just don't think it will. Maybe Windows 8 will finally succeed in pissing off so many people that Linux becomes an attractive alternative for a lot of serious gamers.

Re: Partitioned drives
The problem is with the hardware manufacturers. The graphics drivers they fling together in 5 minutes for linux are a big steaming pile of shite. The porting to unix is already happening for macs so I cant see it being too much work to do linux too if the drivers were up to scratch

Re: Partitioned drives
Oh, I'm with you on that one. I can't run most versions of Linux on this PC as they barf at my current AMD Radeon graphics card. Although I bought it only a few months ago, it's hardly new technology. AMD do provide a generic Linux driver , but it looks like it might need some serious voodoo to get it working.Eichmann Zyklon B wrote:The problem is with the hardware manufacturers.

Re: Partitioned drives
Try mint. They are very good at getting rid of the usual linux headaches. Most of the time everything just works without any tinkering at all

Re: Partitioned drives
I don't always partition my drive, but when I do I always go from front to back.
