Hello
Doing a clean install of windows 8. When windows partitions a new drive with only one drive in it creates 4 partitions, primary, recovery, reserve, and system. When two drives are plugged in it only creates two partitions, even if the other drive is left unformatted (while still in the formatting scream). So I am assuming that it automatically forms the other two partitions on the unformatted drive.
My question, is my assumption correct. If so is it better to format the drives so all four partitions our on one drive. Or allow just the two partitions to be created by formatting both at the same time.
Thank you for your answers or points in the right direction.
