Sup All // So I finally have some free-time tonight, and into the weekend to format my machine, and also put in my new HD and new dvd-burner I got for Christmas. šŸ™‚ I have a brand new Maxtor DiamondMax 320gig to accompany my older smaller 60gig HD. Iā€™m going to use the 60gig for backup storage, or mp3 storage. I plan on partitioning the 320 into 2 or 3 partitions. 1 for photography 1 for windows installation 1 for programs Obviously the windows partition (c:) will be NTFS, but should I make the others FAT32 or do they need to be NTFS for program installation? What are your experiences with partitioning? I know how to partition my HD, but have never done it with a HD this large. any suggestions? Thanks all -m
