| 375825 | 2005-07-27 05:52:00 | As I understand it, to minimise this problem NO partition on your hardrive should be larger than and not equal to 7Gig. I only have 32Gig of my 40Gig hard drive due to the limitations of Win98SE FAT. I made 6 partitions, C: 6.82Gig FAT Win98SE, D: 6.58Gig FAT storage, E: 6.24 NTFS Win2KPro, F: 6.09 FAT storage, G: 5.58 FAT storage. I also have a separate H: 2Gig hard drive which I use for the temp internet caches on both OS/s with both IE6, Firefox and Opera to minimise fragmentation of the main partitions. The advantage of having different sizes of hard drive partition is that you can always identify the individual partitions no matter what Windows decides to name them depending on which Operating System you are using. I also use the H drive as PhotoShop cache to speed up its performance, even though the program is on the main partitions, there is an option in PhotoShop to do this. |
