Ok guys.. so I have 4 hds: 20x2 , 80 , and 200

I have two computers..
One with dual monitors.


I am thinking of dual booting one of the computers.. win/linux.. and the other one i havent decided.. i feel better running linux though... except for some programs i really need.


So should i use like a 20+80 and 20+200 configuration?..

or 80+200,, and 20x2.....

If it was you.. where would you install the os's?... i mean.. both linux and win on same hd?

Which computer is going to need more space? Once you decide that, the hard disk placement should be obvious. And normally you install the OS on the smaller of two hard drives. For example in my computer I have a 74GB Raptor and a 250GB hard drive, I have Windows installed on the raptor and use it as my system drive and keep all my data on the 250 in case there was some serious system failure and the OS drive got scrambled.
