| 319699 | 2005-01-31 06:45:00 | HDD is 120 GB and it is XP Home. Will I be able to partition it later and if i partition it will it be faster at reading the HDD? | Tribomb (5547) | ||
| 319700 | 2005-01-31 06:47:00 | have a look here (pressf1.pcworld.co.nz) edit....partitioning will not make the hardrive any faster. |

| 319701 | 2005-01-31 06:49:00 | Well u can format it LATER BUT u need something like partitionmagic which isnt free. And if u try and do it with windows, you'll kill the lot. So, if u wanna partition it do it now. |

| 319702 | 2005-01-31 06:56:00 | I only have a 60G hard drive and I find partitioning very handy - when you have to reformat you dont loose everything - the only thing you seem to loose are crack codes for any games that you may have | Shaun2005 (6384) | ||
| 319703 | 2005-01-31 07:08:00 | hmm I wouldnt talk about those in here Shaun :rolleyes: BUT true I use an 120 gb here too, the main is 20gb the other 100 It saves u redownloading files off the net, if u leave the partition as one |

| 319704 | 2005-01-31 07:14:00 | So is it a good idea to partition or not.?I have 40 gig. Ta. |

| 319705 | 2005-01-31 07:17:00 | Well as i said, if u download files often its better to partition. Then if u crash the system they'll still be there. If you dont partition, you'll have to get them again. If u havent got them on cd | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
