i'd do

10 GB - OS

20 GB - for downloads, temp internet files, high over turn stuff ( to limit framentation)

20GB - for a future OS

70 GB- everything else

"How should I partition it?" I would use FDISK, but you can buy 3rd party programs with advanced features.

I prefer to do 2 partitions, one for os/apps, the other for everything else.
Right now, I have 3 partitions because I have 2 40gb hard drives, if I had one 120, I would just do a 10gb os/app partition and rest for media.
