Edit My Images
Yes
I use a D90, only one card, but shoot jpeg +raw. The jpegs are for quick proofs the raw images to edit, I have been separating them in windows, it is time consuming. I have just got light room 4 and I am only just starting to play with it, so I know nothing.

The question is “ is there a way” I can get lightroom to separate the images automatically into 2 folders or collections is so how please
 
It shouldn't take long in windows. Download all files to a folder and then sort by type.
 
Not that long but a pita and then have to import, it just would be nice is I could do it all in one opp.
 
Import all your photos into one folder. In the Library module there is a Filter bar at the top of the window. If it isn't showing, press the '\' key. Click the Metadata heading and look for a File Type column. If there isn't one, click on any name at the top of a column, e.g. Date, and in the drop-down list that appears, click File Type. This will change the column so that it shows the File Type data.

Specifically, the list shows how many JPEGs, RAW files, DNG files, and videos there are in the selected folder. Click on JPEG in the list and it will filter the display so that only the JPEGs are shown. Click on a photo, press Ctrl+A to select all, then drag them to a new folder. Once they've all moved, you'll be left with only the RAW photos in the original import folder. Click 'None' in the Filter bar to remove the filter and display the RAW photos.

I'm in Linux at the moment so I'm half remembering how to do this and half relying on Martin Evening's Lightroom 3 book. Hope I've got it right.

Anyway, if you play around with the Filter bar, you'll see how else you can filter your photos so that you can, say, display all of the JPEGs shot by one particular camera on a particular date that have the word 'London' in the tag field, and so on.
 
Shoot just raw and use instant jpeg from raw, it's quick and easy and extracts the jpeg into a separate file. (and it's free)
 
Thanks Garry and Wayne both helpful answers

Derek, I do a lot of tfp model shoots so I need proofs for the models to pick from, the camera portrait mode looks ok for a proof then hopefully when I have edited from raw they look better
