| 362067 | 2005-06-08 10:11:00 | Could I ask what the benifits of partitioning is,and do we all do it? 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. |

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? |
