Hi CadillacPat


From the title I assume you are asking about repartitioning the C drive for PS performance.


That will not work.  The whole idea of having the scratch disk on a separate hard drive is so that reading and writing can be done from both drives simultaneously and increase the overall bandwidth to the hard drives.


Partitioning a drive to have the Scatch Disk on one of the partitions would have zero or negligible impact and you are why risk messing up your primary drive. 


For sure don't mess with the recovery partition.  It is designed to hold just the recovery information and is sized to do just that.  You should not be storing anything on that partition.


I agree with Tom, unless you see a real performance issue I would not bother.  If you do see an issue, you need to add a separate hard drive.


Just my opinion of course.


What is our favorite program/app? (Hint - it begins and ends with the letter P)
