Hi,
lastly i’m using Lenovo T60 (with C2D @ 2GHZ – Intel T5800) and 2gb of ram. i’ve changed hdd for seagate momentus xt 500gb (with this hybrid technology). And as you can guess I still experience problems with dropouts with the newest Scratch Live version (2.3.1). There were few things I had to do, before it started working properly. First: disable the wifi card and then roll up to the version 2.0.1 or sth like that.

I was really disapointed after moving to T60 from T41 with centrino 1,6ghz 1gb ram and 80gb hdd – where everything was working perfect – with exception of visual part – it didn’t work smooth with ‘broken mark’ files.

Any ideas why fresh win xp sp3 with relatively fast processor and enough ram and one of the fastest hdd (with exception of SSD) is not working fine?

The advantage of partitioning the drive is that then the operating system is on its own drive, and doesnt get cluttered up. Sometimes, before you know it, an operating system drive can be filled with temp crap, and is all fragmented….meaning the OSS will run much slower. This in turn means serato runs less efficient, which can of course lead to drop outs.

Two 160gb drives? I would probably do the following (Im assuming here you do not have a USB external drive for your serato tunes)…

drive 1:
30GB – OS drive
130GB – programs / applications / saved mixes

drive 2:
80GB – tune drive with all mp3′s
80GB – tune drive backup (mirroring above exactly)

I suppose you might be better with the tunes and the tunes backup on different drives in case one fails – so play about with that. Also make sure all your MP3′s are backed up somewhere in case you lose your laptop or something. Im going to do an article about tune backup soon…

Thanks for the guide, I have a few questions:..
What is the advantage of partitioning the hard drive for OS and for data?
What would be the best partition config for a laptop with two 160gb 7200rpm drives, (unfortunatly raid is not possible on the chipset)?
cheers,
Sam
