Hard Drive Partitions

[Shroud]

I have 2 120GB WD 7200 8MB cache in my main computer, both of which are one big partition.

My server has 2 180GB WD 7200, with the same config as my main comp.

My GF's comp has one 80GB Maxtor 7200 with the same config. I personally don't use partitions on my computers... but as was stated above.. it depends on what you are using the comp for.

Shroud,

That is true.

There are advantages though to having the OS in it's own partition as you can format it and reinstall it if necessary without having to load all of the other progs along with it.

I realize that.. and this is what we do at work.. however for my home use I simply image everything.
