I will partition my new HDD in RAID 0 soon.
Partition:
C: \ wndows 7
D: \ program files.
Now i've read on many sites on the web that if you do that, some program will install (partially ) on de C partition
even when you choose the D partition. So that the data will get spread across multiple partitions.
Someone said that you shuold never seperate the prog files from the OS because those two are embedded.
I've also found a tip how to seperate them:
Under Windows Vista, select "Run" from the Start menu.
Click Start> Run (or Windows key + R)
Type regedit and click OK.
Scroll to the key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \ SOFTWARE \ Microsoft \ Windows \ CurrentVersion
On the right window, double click on the key ProgramFilesDir and modify data in this key by the new path for the installation folder.
For example, enter the path D: \ Program Files, to change the partition on which the facilities are.
My question:
How to really do this and is it actually better to leave them together on one partition?
