How do you have your HD(s) partitioned/formatted/setup???

i just bought myself an 80 GB Western Digital hard drive for $50. woo hoo!.. i was awaiting the time to expand my space with my current 40GB hard drive..

i already used 30 of the 40 on my old hd, so i installed my 80G, and split all my information from my old one to new one .. left 50 of the 80g empty for future purposes (maybe install linux or something)..


so now i have all my trance choons on one hard drive and the rest of the choons on my new hard drive. i put all my games and picture imaging on the new hard drive, and put my life's work on my old hd..

big description there!.. hahah...
woo hoo.. a total of 120G .. now i need high speed internet connection, and then i can contaminate my hds with movies. hahaha

oh yeah, and i have an old dvd drive i got for $5 and a 40X cd writer for $20. still working, after 2 years..

if its your only HD, then do 2 partitions, a smaller one for the OS and the rest for your DATA. If its not your second, don't bother partionning.
