Rich is giving you a good advice.Two drives is the best I have 3,you have 2 machines in one.And you can have a few more partitions.More the merrier.And with 2nd. HD lost data what is that?Thing of the past.About Partition Logic I tried it last year didn't like it but that could be because I have PM 7 and to this day never had and accident.Must be 4 or 5 years now.Not for NTFS, and PM 8 is not 100% reliable in NTFS.

After reading many posts on this forum where Partition Magic trashed the hard
