| 492981 | 2006-10-21 00:57:00 | I realise this has been covered before and have searched but still unsure which to use. I have a hdd with a windows partition (60gb) and the other 130gb is unallocated atm. I want to partition the rest of the space to just store misc data (video files etc...) what do I use, logical or primary? I thought logical but then read that if in doubt just use primary. any help would be great Cheerz |

| 492983 | 2006-10-21 02:28:00 | If you're putting it all in, you may as well use a primary partition. The numbering is a bit neater that way :) . Logical partitions are a well established trick to allow you to have more than four partitions on a single drive. Now if only Windows supported LVM :D | TGoddard (7263) | ||
