As for indesign performance, it wont even open so i don't need to worry lol, i get the process but nothing on the screen EVER, just builds up processes.
I currently have my scratch disc for that and photoshop etc on my boot drives my raptors as i thought it would be faster than my 500gig.

That's how I was gonna recommend setting it up.
How much RAM, Indesign is a resource whore!
I just brought our Media person a Mac Pro with 2 x Quad Core Xeon CPUs with 4Gb RAM, and Indesign still isn't hugely fast!
Adobe CS3 apps will run 64bit. Upgrade to 4Gb or more RAM!
Living Photoshop: 64 bits...when?

I have 4gig of RAM right now, its quite quick but then again i am yet to do something HUGE, i tend to segment the project into smaller files etc.
Yeah i was waiting for the 64bit stuff to come round for the PC.

So you have 4Gb RAM running 32Bit Windows XP/Vista?
You should really upgrade!
The other thing I can recommend is a Server class CPU, like a Intel Xeon or an AMD Opteron for doing that kind of work. You do notice the difference with the bigger FSB etc.

Ok, try this:
Go to C:\Users\%Username%\AppData\Local\Adobe\InDesign - Copy and paste into an Explorer Window, and leave the %username% bit as is, it will correct itself.
In there is a file called Version 5 (if your using CS3) back it up and then delete it.
Do the same thing here too:
C:\Users\%username%\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\InDesign
This should make InDesign come back up on its default settings.
