boot drive is partitioned into 20 gigs for OS and 60 for stuff (mostly programs i've downloaded). the other two drives are just 1 80 gig partition each

I've got a 120GB HDD and yeah, I partition it.

First partition is 30 GB NTFS where Windows XP Pro and it's Apps/Games reside.
Second is 1 GB Linux swap ..
Third is 50 MB Linux Boot
Fourth is 20 GB Linux ReiserFS
Fifth is the remaining space in FAT32

Second HDD is one parition, 30 GB FAT32. Mostly for backups/DLs/etc.

Use a lot of FAT-32 space so I can read/write to it easily with Linux .. NTFS is a pain since Linux is my primary OS.

I usually do a 15 gig partition for windows and programs, and the rest for storage.

I use multiple drives as well though.

1 80GB has a 15GB partition for Windows.. my other 80GB and 200GB drives aren't partitioned.

 

[amdskip]

40GB for boot and the 80GB part for apps/games, etc.

 

[Ameesh]

nope, i have a fileserver with the big drives and my computrer usually has a 60 or an 80 gig drive in it for installs.

80Gb x2 drives.

25Gb for OS and programs.
12Gb for some stuff
18Gb for movies
32Gb for mma/ufc/pride stuff and other movies
62Gb for movies + all d/l stuff and my files

I usually partition all my drives to have at least 2.

I had my old, dying 75GXP setup that way, with seperate partitions.. but I ditched that setup when I reinstalled, just one partition now..

Right now, no. I have one 160GB partition (two 80GB Maxtors RAID 0), a 120GB partition (120GB Maxtor), and a 60GB partition (60GB IBM). I don't feel the need to partition anything. Folders are good enough for organization. Defragging speed isn't important to me, since there's no way it could take Diskeeper longer than a night to defrag everything, so if I really wanted to defrag all 340GB, I'd just let it run overnight.

i almost always partition.

keeps things more organized for me.

Very similar to my 80 gig drive

20 gigs NTFS win xp pro, apps/games
512 MB linux swap
4 gigs linux reiser FS
remaining FAT 32 (~55 GB)

no second hd 🙂
