the only problem with having your os on a seprate hard drive is that "oops, i accedently unplugged my hd from my pc. now i need to reboot"

I have a very interesting configuration that i'm running right now. I have 3 Hard drives, 2 80 gig and 1 160 gig. I have the 180 partitioned into a ~97.6 gig and a 51.3 gig *no they dont add up to 160, you need to look up that yourself, its too complicated for me to explain*. My 2 80 gigs are in a RAID 1 set, so that I don't loose any important school related stuff... and I have all my halo stuff on it to make a little room. Total, my halo stuff ammounts to just under 10 gigs, owch >.<
On the larger partition I have my main os, which is XP. I have 50 gigs worth of music on it *dont ask, i wont tell*, and is where i make my map. On the other partition is vista, which I can upgrade at any time.

Just a little thing, I installed halo pc and halo ce in a way as to only have one of each for both oses.
Interesting btw... I'm running the special halo 1.7 patch that is for the vista verson on xp b/c its being used for both oses. The patch was released due to the fact that Gearbox f*ed up and wrote crappy code to detect the version of DirectX. What happened is that Halo didn't see DirectX 9, so it assumed that windows must be running an older version of it... riiiight... directX 10 is older than 9...
