2 HDD, but what gets installed on which?
When I get time this week I'm off to buy a second, smaller 160GB HDD to install windows onto, so that I can format my 500Gb with the larger clusters for storage. But do I need to install the sage software onto the 500Gb HDD, or onto the smaller one containing Windows?
Cheers in advance

you can install Sage onto your smaller system drive and then tell it to recordd to your larger drive.

If you decide to go ahead with the second drive anyway, you might still consider partitioning it and giving part of it to Sage, unless you think you need all 160 GB for Windows.

The only reason I'm going for a 160Gb is because that's the smallest Samsung Spinpoint listed at my local hardware place, so I can indeed allocate some of it to Sage. Will I have to allocate the spare part to certain parts of sage (Music storage and image files for instance), or will sage just use that part when the 500Gb gets full?
If it will use it to its full potential, then I may buy another 500GB hdd, since they're only £30 more, giving me a full Tb to play with (Minus the OS partition of course)

You can have as many recording directories in Sage as you like, and it will record by default to the one with the most free space. So multiple drives of the same approximate size will tend to fill up more or less in parallel. Is that what you mean by "use it to its full potential"?

In a way, yes it is. I just didn't want one HDD with loads of spare space not being used because Sage can only record in one folder on one HDD. But now I know that it's able to 'spread the load', I'm swaying more to the large HDD option
