First question is - If you have your hard drive partitioned (C and E) with Windows and Hoster running on C and you designate that the songbook be stored on the E drive... does Hoster import the songs from the E drive back to the C drive, or does Hoster simply read the songs from the E drive?

I need to know because I install a 1 TB drive on my laptop and I need to know if I need to partition each drive equally.

Because, if hoster is simply reading the songs off of the E drive (when I tell the prog the songbook is on the E drive)... then I can partition the E drive to be larger than the C drive in anticipation of all the music being on E so I'll have plenty of room.

When you partition a drive like you mention above, you may want to consider leaving at least 25% free space available on your OS Partition. You never know what other programs you may desire to install in the future.

Just curious is anyone else is doing this in live shows.

I have found that 5400 rpm HDD's work as well as 7400 HDD's.

What do you mean "Is anyone else doing this in live shows"?

Take a look at my signature block and you can see what equipment I use for Shows. The 1TB Seagate has 2 partitions and operates at 5400 rpm. I also keep a backup HDD (of my entire music/video library) that is updated regularly just in case. I had to use the backup once because my 2nd onboard HDD (music drive) errored out to the point that my OS drive would not boot.... thus the recent 1TB HDD.
