I have read that it is very helpful to separate the applications programs on one disk or volume and place the data on a separate disk or volume..., as described below :
"Avoid putting your data (images, spreadsheets, documents, music) on the same volume as your system, and preferably not even on the same physical drive as your system (eg a partition on the same drive as the system). Its one thing for a hard drive to fail; its quite another to have both the system and your data gone." This is from the diglloyd.com website.
My system has multiple hard drives, but this newbie is wondering how actually I accompany this..... do I simply save the photos, spreadsheets , etc , onto the different drive as I am working with them within the applications?
Please withhold your snickers....I have heard there is no such thing as a dumb question, but don't want to be the first person guilty of asking one....
