No idea about the Windows stuff, but for reference, the 4gig drive (they
appear as physically separate disks, not simply partitions) on an Eee is
significantly faster than the other one (whatever size).  Hence it makes
sense to put your OS and any swap on there.

On *nix, you can mount parts of the filesystem on different partitions,
eg. putting /usr (where the bulk of installed applications live) and
/home (user files) on their own partitions.  Can you not do similar with
Windows (making "Program Files" or "Documents and
Settings" point to
space on the large, slow drive, for example)?
