Cut back on # of partitions that I used to use. Didn't see much performance difference and defrag is fast enough for C: drive. D: is used mainly for files (MP3, MPEG, etc).

C: win98 (fat32)
D: trash (fat32)
E: empty (fat32) (for win98)
F: win2000 (fat32)
G: empty (ntfs) (for win2000) - cannot see in win98

No more partitioning. It seems silly. If I wanted a place to safely store files while formatting or to safeguard against crashes, etc. A second drive is a much better idea. Performs a lot better too. The worst is partition to partition file copying on the same physical hard drive. bleh

I have been applying this to all the systems at home...

Grandma's Solitaire/Sygate system:

one FAT32 for everything.
------------------------
6.4gb Quantum FireballSE


Little brother and sister's system:

one FAT32 for everything.
------------------------
4.3gb Western Digital Caviar


brother's system:

one FAT32 for boot, OS, program files, swap, etc
------------------------
20.5gb IBM Deskstar 34GXP (will be 30gb Quantum Fireball+LM once it comes back from RMA :|)

one FAT32 for Archives, Misc, Multimedia files, work files, data, downloads
------------------------
10.1gb Western Digital Caviar ((will be 20.5gb IBM Deskstar 34GXP once the Quantum is back in place :|)
