Can anyone tell me why there are choices for up to four separate scratch disks and how should I be setting >them up in order of preference...
Being a software person (programmer), I am not really up on everything hardware. But a logical drive (a partition) behaves exactly the same as a physical drive to all intents and purposes. So no worries there. >Thanks again for all of your great responses, you have all pretty much confirmed what I already knew, but now I understand why I don't appear to have the full amount of gb etc. What would I do without this list...?!?! <vbg> >tan. So D: should work fine as your scratch disk. It is probably named restore only because the person who set it up named it that. Unless, for some weird reason, XP is also stored on it (in addition to drive C:). But that would be highly unlikely since restore discs are usually separate CDs (or DVDs). So I wouldn't sweat what its volume name is (i.e scratch). You could even change it if you wanted in Windows Explorer. Sometimes people who set up computers (computer geeks) have their own weird personal preferences that are hard to decipher later. HTH Marnie aka Doe
