Hey there! :)

I am formatting my Computer today and I want to know how do YOU organize your files.

I've tried different ways.
Currently I am going to use this
I have a Download folder on a HD on my Network
All my download program will download the download files into that folder.
In that folder I have folders called "_DVD_Ready", "_Software","_Something","_Something" because of the _ they will stay at the top. I also have my Programming projects in it.


ps. In my _DVD_Ready file I have Iso's which I have made easier like auto install crack/serial/patch, everything you can imagine.

In short:
\\SERVER\USERNAME\Download\TheFolder.

How do YOU organize your files?
I am interested please post it, and also how you organize your programming files maybe a other directory or w/e please post.

Post your way! :)

I just have an OS 100GB C:\ drive, a Games & Etc 200GB D:\ drive.
Im my D:\ I have a folder Games and Films, and folders of programs I have installed.

I have about 100 things on my desktop i can't remember the last time i put them into folders

Thanks! :)
Any comments on how I do it?

I have two 500GB hard disks

C:\ all program/windows data
X:\ All my personal files: such as pictures, movies ect ect. I also have my programming folders here like "php map", "scar map", ect.

So basicly, when my windows crashes, or when I want to reinstall it, all my data is safe on my X:\ disk. Though I'm fucked when my X:\ disk crashes :p

well good luck with your pc.

I did it before, don't worry :p.

Now I was click like 10 times to get into my Download folder So I might create a few partions or buy a second HD.

I have it on a different computer. as a 1 TB RAID set up.
I just mount it with smbmount, so I can access it like /mnt/raid/*
There is all the music, etc saved.
My local hard disk, is a 500 GB disk seperated into 4 partitions. One for my Winblows XP SP 2, but that partition is dusty, so to say. The other two are just storage, and the last one is for my Linux FS /.

Previously I didn't have any Hierarchy of storing files, except for ~/Programs/here and ~/Documents/here, but I'm currently organizing my files a bit. That's the cool thing about vacation. :)

Same Vacation FTW :).
I might buy a new HD.

I am going to install:
-Windows Xp
-Linux: Ubuntu
I have 1 HD:
- 160 GB
Can I partion it so It will be seen as a second HD?
I am going to have a partion for Linux and for Windows after all.

My hierarchy is anarchy.

First install windows with about, 60 - 80GB? (One Partition)
Then install Ubuntu to use the rest of the Disk Space. :)

Yes, I can't recall correctly will I have 2 HD's in This Computer or not?
I know how too.

By type, of course :)

I have one memory stick with 2GB that I have scar on :P

Well, I keep music in /home/widget/Music, sorted by genre (Songbird automatically keeps it nice and organized)
Pictures go in /home/widget/Pictures (or My Documents\My Pictures if it's from Photoshop or tf2)
My applications menu comes pre-sorted for me so there's at most 10 items per category.
I also keep a lot of things on my server in various folders (mounted via network and accessible from the internets in case I need the files somewhere else.

I have now found a new option under Windows XP Pro, is called Map Network Drive.
I now have my backup folder/download folder thing I have Drive B.
It's nifty :).
I am also going to let my programs save in the right direction.
Then I will install ubuntu.
