I'm told this OS has its own disk management utility. What is the best way, then, to partition my hard drive? Should I install the OS first, keeping the drive as one, large 46G partition? Then, after installation, use the utility to set my partitions as preferred? Or does this need to be done during installation?
Thanks, folks.

It can be done either way. I prefer to setup all the partitions and format all of the hardrive first before instaliing Win2. Just select repair option then console repair after You have booted from The Win2k cd. When you get to a command prompt in the repair console, just type in diskpart. The diskpart utility is pretty straight forward and is easy to understand. The format command line to format from the console is C: /fs:ntfs or C: /fs:fat32 depending on what file format you want the hardrive in.
