Partitioning my hdds

[ripken204]

i am going to be getting a 74gig raptor and a 250gb barracuda. how should i go about partitioning it for windows,installs,music,movies,etc?

you'd be best off using the raptor for windows and your programs, thus enhancing the overall speed of your machine. unless the seagate model is on a PATA interface, you can partition it any way you want. on a PATA interface, you should split it into volumes, each into 125GB peices. no single volume larger than 137GB can exist on a PATA interface on account of addressing limitations.

You might want to take a good look at the sticky on top https://www.techspot.com/vb/topic2510.html and read it thoroughly also read the info displayed in the referred to site http://partition.radified.com

It might sound a bit dull, but as far as my knowledge goes, the logical thinking of this kind of setup stays the same whatever system you use.

Correct me if I'm wrong here
