I'm reloading XP and will have a Raid 0 array with 3 partitions. Partition 1 - 10GB for XP
Partition 2 - 30GB or so, for drivers and programs
Partition 3 - about 450GB for storage.

Question: I'll be transferring alot of VHS tapes to DVD. Some of those VHS tapes are extended play, or about 6 hours in length.
If I install Nero 6 OEM Suite on partition 2, is it possible to use Nero to work on my video editing on partition 3, where there is the most space. Or do I need to install Nero on partition 3 if that's where I want to do my encoding, downloading and editing of video files?
Thanks
HC

Why are you setting up a RAID 0 array? You know that you essentially double your probability of failure, and that if one drive fails, you lose everything. If you need the little bit of extra performance RAID 0 provides, at least go with a RAID 0+1 array.

Anyway, it doesn't matter where you install Nero. If you are using Nero Vision for capturing and reencoding, you can change the temporary directories using the More->Configuration buttons. However, you may have a problem with other apps if you install them on a drive other than the C: drive. I advise having Windows and programs on the same partition and keeping the data partition separate.

-Do you believe you own your computer and shouldn't be told what you can run and do? Then say *NO* to Microsoft Vista!
-Since half the questions here involve media problems, here ya go: Only use Verbatim or Taiyo-Yuden discs (get your TYs from Rima.com, not Supermediastore or meritline). Forget the rest, no matter what "brand" they sell under. Always burn at 4x speed regardless of the speed rating of this discs or your drive. If you have burn problems with these then you have to update your drive's firmware. For double-layer discs, only use Verbatim DVD+R DL and burn them at 2.4x speed.
