There is no need these days to even bother with drive partitioning?? (sp) It was more for when windows could not handle a drive bigger than 80gb!! Although now I think XP can handle single drives of 270gb?? or close to it, so i would ask why bother? I know you think its is better managed? but a folder for web and a folder for audio will work just as well?
But thats just my opinion? LOL

What I have found is this, when you partition say about 40gb for O/S etc that is fine NOW!! I remmber when Windows and office took up 200mb LOL. Now they take up about 4.3gb, will we continue with BLOAT WARE? will and O/S get even bigger? YES, will it get ot 40gb? doubtful, but then four years ago we said it would never reach 1gb??

Just a thought :o)
