I have one HD, parted into two discs (so I have one 160 gig HD, but it's parted into one disc C and one disc D). Disc C is getting full (down at 18%), will that affect the overall preformance of the disc, or does BOTH discs totally have to go down below 20%?

Ube, one hard disk is still one hard disk, no matter how many partitions u want to make. there is only one set of read/write heads on the HD so u can't read both partitions at the same time.

therefore, if low memory slows down read/write processes of C partition, your D partition will suffer as well.

my variation of HD partitioning is slightly different from Mea's. let's say for a 160GB, i'll have about 40-50GB for C, which i will put windows & non-game softwares in while the rest of the HD space will be for D, where i install my games, keep my files, & all that. this way, u keep the frequency of your C partition from getting fragmented to a certain minimum.

if u are a constant downloader, never forget to always back up your stuff on cd or dvd periodically as even the best system will break down at one time.
