Well, I did a mixture between you two...15 gigs for my OS drive. And it...kinda...sucks. After installing such huge programs such as visual studio, I usually have about a gig left. That then tends to grow and shrink depending on the files I download and don't put on other partitions. So of course I'll get the 'low disk space' errors now and again. Blah.
However, I DO like having at least one seperate partition for other files. I think it should be mandatory for all OS installs just because it is SO nice to know that save for hardware errors or something bizzare your data will still be there if you need to wipe and reinstall Windows. Currently, I am thinking of a 20 gig OS drive, with two 30 gig partitions. Then again, I am considering Linux, which would then be something like 20 (Win), 10 (Linux), and the rest of the space divided up as needed first by Linux, and then what's left for where I put my files so that if I have to make an OS reinstall, I don't lose them. Jam it back in, in the dark. |

Acid: This will sound newbish but for whatever reason, I can never make that many partitions because (as you know) there is a 4 partition limit per hard drive. At least, in the past anyway. Somehow, I remember getting Suse to do things correctly, but that was pretty far back and it's now vague in my mind.
Maybe I am missing something here. Or maybe whatever distro (I think it was red hat at the time) just couldn't get it done. Or maybe I did somethign wrong. That though was for the reason for my plan above. There's nowhere I can't reach. |
