Acer and Sony disk partitioning
Factory-fresh Acer desktop and notebook PCs have the hard drive
partitoned into 2 x equal-sized FAT32 partitions: C: contains a standard Windows XP setup and D: is empty. Sonys are similarly partitioned, although NTFS formatted. What is the logic behind dividing the disk space thus? Why does Acer format as FAT32? BTW: The Acers (& Sonys?) also have 1 x small FAT32 hidden recovery partition, but that's a different discussion.

There is absolutely no logic behind it, but they've been doing it for several years now as I have a friend with one partitioned the exact same way.
