Well, I just installed my other 80gb hard drive in as slave rather than trying to setup a RAID array right now. I am trying to decide what to do with it. I am thinking that I could have Windows on one drive and Linux on the other, but that would force me to reinstall one of them, and I would prefer not to. Is it better to have the OS' on seperate drives or the primary drive? I know in Windows I can set my virtual memory to a partition on the second drive and it will improve performace, but I have 512mb of RAM, and Linux rarely ever uses my swap space. The most I have seen used was 3%, so it would be almost useless to make a new swap partition., or would it be? How does grub deal with this?
Is there a program that could just copy my Linux partitions over to the second drive? Then I could just use fdisk on the windows boot CD to delete my ext dos partition (only has 1 game instaled at the moment since I have been using FC2 mostly, so no big loss...), then create a new one using the rest of the space on drive 1, and create logical drives from there. And then on my second drive I would have my linux installation with a whole 80gb to it self, rather than sharing 40gb with windows.
On my current setup, I had 2 Windows partitions (C and D), so I could only create 2 more for some reason during the Fedora insallation. I have a ~38gb "/" and a 2gb "swap," but was unable to create a seperate boot or usr partition. If I transfer my install to the second drive, would it be possible to change this configuration?
Or would it just be easier to make a second install of Fedora on the new drive, copy my stuff over from my current fedora install on the first drive, then edit my partitions to delete fedora on the first drive?
