Yet another partition question.

A have a new system I built using the ABIT BX133 board. I have a pair of IBM 30GB 75GXP drives set up as RAID 0, and a single spare Seagate 8GB drive I had after upgrading my Dish Network Dishplayer. I'm only going to run Win98 SE and Linux for now.

I need some advice on partitioning these drives. I was planning on using the 8GB drive as a Linux drive, maybe splitting it in half or so. Does that sound reasonable?

What should I do with the 58.5 GB of space on the RAID setup? Seven partitions of 8GB and one of 2.5GB for the OS? I use my system for surfing, games, small business, and digital photography.

Any comments and/or links to web sites with further discussion would be much appreciated.

Thanks,

Ryan
 
Give yourself 5GB for a system partition. I load all my programs/games/apps onto a separate partition, but my system drive in Win2k is only 3GB and I find myself cleaning the disk all to often. Give yourself some space on the sys partition.

As for the others, I would parse it into 10GB partitions. Depending on what you want to do with the space, I would reserve a parition for games/apps/etc, one more music and photography and the rest for storing various whatever(warez, CDs, PS2 games).

Smell ya later!
