I am just getting off the ground with an Edirol UA-5, a couple of condenser mics and a 4-year-old laptop. Everything I read about getting started swears by the “dedicated hard drive,” and I’ve got an 80gb external divided in three, one third of which is for my music. Now how do I go about “dedicating” without adverse results?
When I install my software (Guitar Tracks Pro, a bottom-rung of the Cakewalk line) it goes straight onto my C: drive. The (crappy) instructions elude to the software saving a working file in numerous mysteriously unnamed folders, so I am afraid of just saving to a new file on the external hard disk.
Thanks for the help as I rapidly make my way to recluse geekdom.

(I’m not going pro, I’m just a musician who’d like to hear himself so I’m NOT very interested in buying anything else, so with all due respect, I know that the software is not great and for now, I can live with that. If your comment is “upgrade to…” then it may not be very relevant for me.)
