Any Special Partitions Needed for Windows 8?

[Synomenon]

I'd like to install Windows 8 on my desktop. It's going to be installed on an Intel 520 Series (Cherryville) SSD. I never use hibernation or standby / sleep on my desktop.

Are there any special partitions I need to create on the SSD before installing Windows 8, or can I simply secure erase the SSD, put the Windows 8 disc in, boot it and start setup?

You can simply erase the SSD and let Windows 8 handle it. It will automatiically create two partitions; a bootloader partition, and then the OS partition.

Just format, and let Windows handle the partitions. Piece of cake.
