I seem to remember years ago that it was recommended that you partition your hdd for reasons that i didn't fully understand at the time. I still do it to seperate my work, media and os files, but now i'm thinking of getting a drive for storing films on it.
At 250GB it should be big enough for my short/medium term needs, but how should i go about partitioning it? is it even necessary? I was planning on putting a very small partition, somewhere in the region of 5 or 10 gigs on it for the pagefile which currently runs in c, but that would be all
What are the advantages of partitioning or not partitioning?
