What Do You Name Your Pc/hdd(s)?

Yay for me being bored....

So what do you name your PC, or what do you name your HDDs?

Personally my PC is nameless, but I suppose naming a PC is mainly reserved for server rigs....

Anyways.


Drive \ Space \ Name
===============
C:\ - 005Gb - Recca (Dedicated drive for Windows and programs)
D:\ - 035Gb - Ryo-Ohki
E:\ - 080Gb - Hikaru
F:\ - 080Gb - Luffy
G:\ - 080Gb - Alphonse
H:\ - 120Gb - Shikamaru
I:\ - 120Gb - Onizuka
J:\ - 120Gb - Van

Total HDD Space: 640Gb

I like to collect anime... *cough*

I suppose you want to know where the names come from... They're all anime.
Recca = Flame of Recca
Ryo-Ohki = Tenchi Muyo!
Hikaru = Angelic Layer
Luffy = One Piece
Alphonse = Patlabor
Shikamaru = Naruto
Onizuka = Great Teacher Onizuka
Van = The Vision Of Escaflowne

Please don't hate me...

    I'm actually curious as to MonsE's "ideal partitioning system" opinion.
    Currently I have:
    4GB for OS and essentials (essential = any application required for secure and basic system function, such as antivirus, WinRAR, MS Office)
    ~22GB, Storage, for non-speed dependent apps and storage of non-critical files
    ~22GB, Game, defragmented on a very regular basis for speed-dependent apps
    1.5GB, Swapfile, formatted in FAT32 instead of NTFS and with only one file: Windows' swapfile.

    Had I known I'd be interested in dual-booting into Linux at the time of my last full system rebuild, I probably would've made a small OS partition for linux and set its swapfile to that 1.5GB too, since it's in FAT32.

    [edit]Six <i>hundred</i> and forty gigs? On one machine? ... You're going to tell me where you found good deals on those hard drives. You're going to link now. <i>Now or The Cheat gets it</i> <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->

    Yeah, it's always good to keep partion a very small amount of your HDD just as a dedicated HDD for your OS and all the programs you use.... saves backing up all your precious precious downloads.... I've often found 5Gb not enough, but then of course I keep HL installed on my C:\....

    I knew a guy who had a 120Gb HDD, which he screwed up... and he lost 120Gb worth of files.... gg....

    Of course. I <i>did</i> say all programs necessary for basic function went on my OS partition <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->
    Just kidding, Steam's big enough that it had to go into Games like the rest of 'em. I'm still not sure if putting the swapfile on a separate partition from C makes any difference if it's physically just one drive.
    Would anyone be able to tell me if it's worth buying an old 2 gig drive from a computer show for this purpose?

    I follow the system suggested by MonsE:

    It aint creative, but it gets the point across for nearly anyone who decides to look through my stuff.

    Seriously tho, hda1 (C:) and hdf1 (H:) are NTFS, hda3 (D:) is fat32, and none of them have labels. /dev/evms/root is a striped RAID, no redundancy but lotsa space, and formatted with ReiserFS.
  • InfinitumInfinitum Anime Encyclopedia Join Date: 2002-08-08 Member: 1111Members, Constellation
    eediot PM'd me wondering how I can fit so many HDDs in my PC. So let's keep this relatively simple

    Normally you have 4 IDE channels. Cable of supporting ATAPI (CD, DVD, Burners) devices as well as HDDs.

    So off the bat we have:

    ----Primary IDE--------Primary Master----------Primary Slave
    ----Secondary IDE----Secondary Master------Secondary Slave

    So basically I can use those channels however I want. 4 HDDs, 2 HDDs and 2 ATAPI devices, 1 HDD, etc, etc, etc

    But what happens if you want to add in more HDDs? Along comes a natty little device called an IDE Card (Also commonly known as RAID Cards). They come in a variety of styles, just like a graphics card and slots into your nearest free PCI slot. Some can support 2 channels. Some 4. My IDE Card supports 2 channels (That's 2 IDE ribbons, with the possibility of 2 HDDs on each ribbon. For a grand total for 4)

    The only problem with IDE Cards is that they do not support ATAPI devices. No running of your DVD-Rom off the IDE card <!--emo&;)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wink.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wink.gif'><!--endemo-->

    This is what my setup looks like-

    Motherboard:
    ----Primary IDE--------Primary Master----------Primary Slave
    ----Secondary IDE----Secondary Master------Secondary Slave

    IDE Card:
    ----Primary IDE--------Primary Master----------Primary Slave
    ----Secondary IDE----Secondary Master------Secondary Slave

    So I can hold 8 devices, but ATAPI devices only work on the 4 Motherboard IDE channels.

    Where my drives go:
    Motherboard:
    ----Primary IDE--------C:\ D:\ (Paritioned 40Gb)----------E:\
    ----Secondary IDE----DVD-Rom------F:\

    IDE Card:
    ----Primary IDE--------G:\----------H:\
    ----Secondary IDE----I:\------J:\

    My friend said to me once he had a very hard time getting his IDE Card working, he was swapping around HDDs and CD-Roms to try to get it to work... when I was putting my IDE Card in he said "There'll be only a certain way you can have your HDDs in, otherwise the IDE card won't work."
    Got it the first time.
    I think he had an old crap one...

    Ok, everything ABOVE the line is what your normally get with your PC. We'll just use my PC as an example.
    So 3 HDD's and 1 DVD-ROM (4 Devices) is the MAXIMUM number of devices you can have on a normal stock standard PC.

    I add in the IDE Card, and viola. My 4 devices is now a MAXIMUM of 8.

    I hope that's what you wanted....
