ok then... what about the keep/remove box? is there anything of important i should add there? any big/usless files maybe? and another issue.. does it have any performance impact to make diffrent partitions/hard disks for programfiles/temp/documents..etc etc? ive heard ppl tell be that winxp can work faster, with diffrent disk/partitions for diffrent folders and such, also makes a reinstall of winxp easier, just by linking the new install to the diffrent folders + replace the new registry with the old one. any truth in this? if so how big should the windows partition be? ps. @ bledd, thats just a mean looking avatar. hehe
