Partitions

[GeckoEcho421]

Only a waste to you, but it makes everything i do a little easier.

Makes perfect sense for a power user.

I myself have three partitions, and they all serve their purpose :

1) Windows XP (NTFS formatted) for wireless networking / gaming
2) Linux ext2 filesystem for programming / Operating System engineering
3) Go-Between for XP and Linux (FAT32)

That just confused the crap out of me....

Partitions vs Folders in organising files is almost the same. The real purpose of partitions is for back-ups (as Inaris mentioned). I format a lot, so I need partitions.

Is there any software that doesn't cost $70 that will allow me to partition a hard drive so I can install Linux without getting rid of XP?

The Linux installation will provide an option to create or delete partitions.

Use your windows cd.
