Hi,

I just recently upgraded my computer (home-built) to have 3 Hard Drives, one
37.6 GB WD Raptor and 2 500 GB HDD all are Sata and the 2-500's are in a RAID
0 config. my laptop (an Acer) has some setting where there is a partition
for just the OS and then everything else is just the raw data, but the OS
partition is hidden from everything until you look at the "manage" option
from the computer right-click. I was wondering if there was a way for my
Raptor to have that same option and basically have the 1 TB of space be my
"C" Drive, or if I have to install all of my programs into the D drive like I
did before.
 
The C drive is usually your o/s / boot drive
You dont say what drive the o/s is installed on & boots from.

By raw data you mean simply data files?

The "some setting where there is a partition for just the OS" is the Acer
recovery partition. It is for restoring your Acer to factory condition.
There is nothing about it you can use on your desktop.
