Hi A few people have posted tips on partitioning but I am still unclear about two things... (1) What is the benefit of creating a small partition at the 'start' of the harddisk with just Windows on it, and another partition with audio software on it. (2) Does this arrangement (OS on one partition, software on another) have any drawbacks. Thanks capn

No benefit at all as far as I see. But if you create them as "hidden partitions" and install Windows in both of them you can benefit a lot from installing Logic in one partition and NOT too many other software in that same partition. With a very stripped down Windows, and others software, installation this system will free up more CPU resources for Logic, thus meaning more tracks and plug-ins :) > > (2) Does this arrangement (OS on one partition, software on > another) > > have any drawbacks. The only thing I can think of is that every time you install a new program you have to define where to install, as drive C usually is the installer default. It's also recommended to use a second drive, or a separate partition, for storing the audio files you record with Logic. Best wishes Per Boysen
