Partition of Hard Disk???

The desktop in the home office has two partitions: 32 GB for the operating system, and 40-something GB for a disk image backup, My Documents, and other frequently changing files. The desktop in my bedroom is setup the same way, except that the second partition is larger, being on a 120 GB HDD. My laptop has 3 partitions: 32 GB for the operating system, 10 GB for the invisible restore partition, and about 70 GB for backups, My Documents, and other frequently changing files. :)

I have two partitions and wish that I had just one. Repartitioning will mean losing everything and starting over - so I live with the two.

I only make two partitions of my hard disk. I think there is no need in making more partitions. There will be just more disk space that is just wasted. Two is enough for home usage.

I have one hard disk of 40 GB and I made only 3 partitions in hard disc. C drive is used for Program and Operating systems and program installation while D drive is for saving the data and E drive is used for multimedia functions songs and videoes.

I have a 40gb hdd (2 partitions) and a 160gb hdd (2 partitions).

I have 40gb and 3 partitions. C drive has operating system.

i ahve three partion on the computer!!normally partion are usefula nd cool so sometimes to set up or others they are annoying...!!surely if you have 160 gb hdd so do you have the new generation ready for vista i think!!or u like more to use linux?

Partition are cool, but annoying to set up and for multiple boot I would recommend a new hdd, cheaper and useful for backups aswell.

I'm only sticking to one partition which is under NTFS running Windows XP Professional SP2. I also have another NTFS partition on another backup hard drive. So I'm using both 250GB SATA Western Digital Hard Drives, but not using it as a RAID - just regular use instead.

Hi! it makes sense to make a few partitions on HGG. One exclusively for OS, one for downloads, music, movies, games, backup, setup files...atleast 8 of 20GB each!

I have 4 - Windows XP, Mandriva 2008, Ubuntu 7.10, and a partition for Downloads.

I have 4 partitions which are sufficient for me i dont want to handle loads of partitions for different purposes but having partitions does help to organize data
