How to handle ond HD?

All of ll desktop computers have two physically separate hard disks.
So data are stored in D-drive.

Now, I ordered a laptop with a 100 GB HD.
I am wondering how to handle the use of a single HD.
Should I divide the HD into two partitions: main C partition and D-partition
for data?
Please advise me? TIA.. Roman

Partitioning a hard drive is purely personal preference. I find no useful
purpose for doing so.

I agree with Gordon.

One thing came to my mind is that partitioned sections are quicker to
complete defrag or chkdsk.

Yeah, particularly because it takes 3+ hours to do a full format on a large
capacity HDD with a single partition. Another clear advantage is having
available partitions for a dual installation that can come handy when
booting problems arise.. To me a single partition is impractical, and most
particularly on large hard drives.
