Keep a separate drive for your scratch disk.

I used to do this in Windows NT 4.0 and, I believe, Windows 2000. Unless something has changed, you should be able to stripe or RAID your drives in Windows XP (Pro only, perhaps) without the need for additional software. Simply hit up the Control Panel >> Administrative Tools >> Computer Management >> Storage >> Disk Management. If you have two or more drives on your system (and maybe they have to be the same physical size) you should be presented with options for striping them. Thanks for the review and setting straight of some common misconceptions. It’s been a few years since I striped (RAID0) any drives together.
