Is enough a WD raptor 36G for Vista install only? I plan to make the move to Vista Home Premium without dual booting, programs and games will go on other partition,temp files and user folders will go in other disk, I know that Vista take 15Gigs on a fresh install, have other WD raptor 36G I can go to RAID0 if needed.

Wow! I can't believe it takes 15GB. I'll have to look to see what Ultimate takes...

EDIT: Eh, it's the same 15GB.

I had it installed on a 74GB raptor, within a week I wiped it and moved it to a 250GBWD.

Some games and progs can get squirrely trying to direct them to install somewhere other than the default directory, not often, I just don't want to deal with it.

A lot of programs? or some?..

No, I think Doom 3 and FEAR were 2 of them, mostly minor stuff. This was with the beta, though I don't know how much difference there would be.

I have seen someone post here about an easy way around that, I just don't remember what it was. I'm sure several of the folks reading this could tell you.
