I have purchased a new desktop, Core2Duo 2.2GHz, 1Gb RAM and 160Gb SATA HDD.
I have partitioned as 30+60+60 GB approx and installed XP on C: drive. But now I am having different thoughts.
1) Should I have a small 4Gb FAT32 partition after C: and move pagefile there?
2) I have some old IDE drives, 80Gb. Is it better to have my Data on a seperate old HDD vs a seperate partition on a new one?
3) Should I put a pagefile on a seperate partition of the 2nd IDE HDD also, if I decide to install one.

What should I do? Especially about the data, partition or new disk?

For a home system you should leave the pagefile at system managed. There is no benefit making a partition on the same drive as the OS for a pagefile. Putting the pagefile on a older slower drive is also not advised. I would also keep your data on the 160gig drive but if you have a 80gig drive you can use it to backup/copy your data to it.
