Software installation in XP---query

[roy_rajat]

Dear all
I was wondering if it is at all possible to have XP on one partition of hard disk and have all the application softwares running from a different partition of the HDD? Is this at all feasible and how?
Inputs will be highly appreciated.
Thanks

Yup it is possible .

always prefer to keep applications on other partiton coz it doesn't slow the system

But there is one drawback

If you will reinstall xp then 90% of the applications will not run coz old registry is deleted . Then u've to manually delete them
