That was what i was mentioning (couldnt remember exactly)
Now on my setup, I had C: (40gig) D:&E: (CD/DVD drives) F:(TB drive) G&H:( USB drives)
Now on my TB, I have my emulators, frontend, jukebox mp3 etc, and other various files...
Currently (because I am lazy) i have a copy of my front end that i use primary on the C Drive that i havent taken off... As long as my locations are correct, it runs fine... Incase the pc by some reason dies...all i have to do is switch the TB to another PC and like said before make sure the locations are correct...

I would think the easiest setup would be up all software, emulators, FE's on the dedicated C drive.
All roms, chds, music, snaps, and other large files can go on a USB TB drive. The C drive should be less than a few gb and would be much easier to backup.
Granted, that would be a setup if using a USB TB drive was planned from day 1.
