I currently have my sim on my main drive (NTFS with 148GB space remaining out of 200GB), but it doesnt run too well, would my sim run any quicker if i reinstalled it on my Spare Drive (NTFS 60GB) which is currently empty and use that drive as my dedicated fsim drive?
Thanks in advance
Mark

King,
Everything I have read says that having the sim on one drive and the op system on the otehr (along with the swap file) will improve performance.
I have had the sime on the D or E drive and the op sys on the C drive for two computers now. No problems that I habve seen except with poorly written 3rd party installers that ASSUME that fs2004 is in the default directory... or at least on the C drive.
Never did controlled study performance comparisons.
best,
..............john

kingmarktheaviator Ill give you a key ::) FAT32 i dont like ntfs partition system,i try and my FS9 doesn't like it
try to work under fat32 by eliminating first all the partition ntfs in your hdd,them create as many you want but with fat32,i recomend you to use a disquette of win98,dont use partition magic or any other weird software let microsoft do this job,if you have the windows 98 se you can boot direcly from it
