I am about to reformat my PC. It was 2 sepearte drives turned into 1 RAID DRIVE, with XP and VISTA dual boots. I am going to get rid of the RAID configuration all together and have 2 seperate Hard Drives. Then install Windows7 on one of them.

My question is:

Is it better to install DDO onto the same drive I have the Windows7 OS on, or onto the sepearte Hard Drive?

Both Hard Drives are identical in size/model/speed etc.

At the moment my game has issues. It crashes randomly when loading areas in, usually on the 4th or 5th large area I travel into - Explorer Areas usually. Dungeons seem to be fine, just areas. My PC works fine with more demanding games than DDO so I am hoping this reformat, redownload, and complete OS change will help.

Thanks for any suggestions.
