Reformating

[SkyyPanther86]

I am currently reformating my hard drive. I have only one and I want to creat two partitions on the drive, one for music and one for windows. I have windows xp pro sp2, I dont know how many mb I should put on one partition for windows. I have a wd raptor 74gig. Also when im about to partition the drive it says two diff things, partition the drive using fat file or ntfs file system.

so, what exactly is ur question? The sizes for 2 partitions and/or file system?

I would always go with NTFS. Assuming you're having 1 partition for Windows and 1 for Music I would allocatae 10-15GB for the Windows partition and leave the rest for your music. It will depend on how many applications etc you install as these will go on the Windows partition
