Neither of those is good. It's best to dedicated a drive to Windows and programs (or other user files like Word docs, MP3, photos, etc), and then use a separate drive for your video work.
So you save your files to another drive...That sounds good but you can't work on the other drive with out having the program and the O/S...can you?
