362066 2005-06-08 09:48:00 I'd say three or four partitions,
1 for windows.
1 for the kiddies to put stuff on.
1 for other apps and games and such

You might like to think about installing a removable hard drive as well. I have two partitions on a 120 Gig hard drive. The first partition includes the O/S and programs. The second partirion includes all downloads and data I created.

I have a second hard drive which using Norton Ghost is a copy of the first drive.

I've got my apps and games on seperate partitions. But although I haven't needed to yet, when I reinstall Windows I guess the apps and games partitions will need to be wiped and all programmes reinstalled too?

No, that shouldn't be necessary. See the Partitioning FAQ I linked to above for information about that.
