But remember that the disk will still be used to read from and write to, at the same time. The best solution would be to use a RAM-drive, on Vista or XP 64-bit you could use a large amount of RAM for that, like 4 GB or so.On XP 32-bit the total amount is limited to 4 GB, including reserved space for periphials like graphics card and the like.What interface are you using, IDE or S-ATA? And how fast is this old drive? 4200 rpm or 5400 rpm?</blockquote>
