typically the only things on my boot drive are drivers and maybe 4 programs that i want up to date like ccleaner, 7zip, vlc, and anitvirus. also install anything that needs the the speed on an ssd. i have a pretty well structured data drive that really helps for when i corrupt my boot drive [unfortunate risk when putting in other peoples drives] ican typically install windows and all my drivers in 30-35 minutes, windows updates take forever [if anyone has a better way so i dont have to download them EVERY time]
i structure my data drive in different folders like this:
Backups [for laptop hard drive and flash drives, also copy contents of boot drive before i format]
Clients [backup there information here by reoving their hard drive and copying its complete contents here, i delete when i am finished fixing/reinstalling windows on their machine]
Documents
Downloads {i set chrome and utorrent to download here]
Recipes [food]
Games Files [for .isos patches, mods separated by game]
Other [for things that that dont have a category]
ISO [for bootable .isos and and anything that is an .iso that isnt a game, also have linux .isos here]
Movies
Music [i drag music to itunes and selection option for organized music folder so itunes separates each band in a different folders for me]
Pictures
Program Files [were i install all of my programs/games]
Programs [programs that are not installed, setup files and .exes that are not .isos, useful for when i have to format my laptop or someone else, also keep utilities and tools here]
TV [tv shows by folder, in the folder they are separated by season]
the reason i separate .exe and .iso is because they have complete different processes. .iso need to be mounted either to a usb device or with a program like virtual clone drive and sometimes need to be modified with a program like power iso..exe are a lot easier and are typically just an install. Game .isos are adifferent maner and usually take some extra steps like mods and patches and need a much more organized approach plus source links [download locations and links to information for future reference]
well thats my typical approach. i would like to see how you guys do it
