setting up my harddrives

[zzmegad]

I have been using the raid0 setup for a couple years now and have been happy with it. One of the drives just burned out, and im planning on doing the raid0 setup again. I heard that you should partition like 20 gigs or so to install windows on. Last time I just partitioned the whole 320 gigs as one. How should I partition these drives? thanks for some help

C: Windows/Apps. - 20-40gb.
D: Everything else - The rest.

or:

c: windows - 10-20g
d: apps/games - 20-40g
e: Everything else - The rest.

Tweak the size of the partitions to fit your needs - if you only play a couple games and don't need 40gig for that, then make the partition smaller. I don't know that there's much difference in functionality between the 2 options. - some say having the games/apps on a separate partition makes it easier to reinstall windows - but you have to reinstall most apps/games in that case anyways, so there's probably not much difference.
