To maximise a drive's performance, do not make unnecessary partitions; if you're installing a different OS, then partitioning would be inevitable. Keep all your data on the same partition and use folders to organise them.

It's also a good thing to partition the OS in a specific partition, if you tend to need to reinstall your OS on a frequent basis. I tend to reinstall WinXP about every 9months, because of hardware upgrades or because of Windows registry clogging up. Having seperate partitions on a single drive is GREAT if this is a common occurence, because you don't have to backup the whole HD to do a from scratch reinstall.
Jam it back in, in the dark.
