I have an Inspiron 531 with Athlon 3800+, 4gb memory, 2 Drives ( 160GB and 320 GB), and Vista Home Prem 32.
I recently acquired an 80GB SSD. I would like to make that my boot drive. I would also like to reformat all drives and start fresh. I have amassed a number of programs I no longer use, as well as peripherals I no longer have and think it would be easier to start from scratch.
Question: What is the best procedure for this restart? Install just SSD and install windows then reformat other 2 drives? Try to reformat all 3 at the same initial windows install? Does it matter?
