For an everyday, general-use system, how many partitions do you prefer to use? ... and how big are they (percentage-wise)?
I'm going to build a new system and have already purchased an 80GB HD. I never had the luxury of thinking about so much storage space until now. I think 50% will be plenty for my main 'C' partition. Perhaps the 'D' will be 30% where I might install all games and some apps that I'll hardly use. The remaining 20% 'E' partition could just serve as my download dump.
I plan on running off of Win2K and obviously NTFS. Would I need to keep any my partitions FAT32?
Do you recommend me using more or less than 3 partitions? Different proportions?
Thanks for sharing,
