For a really good look at the art of partitioning, and the various
ways/methodology involved, go to www.PowerQuest.com and download the manual for Partition Magic (whether you use Partition Magic or not). wrote in message ... where can i find a good online resource for info about partitioning a drive. mostly the how tos and the why. is it better to partition or to have two drives?

If you have two physical drives, you'll have at LEAST two partitions. All drives have to be partitioned. How you partition them is up to you. What about partitioning for programs and large files storage but having a tiny (420mb) little one on the side for key documents. I keep all my key files on a second physical HD. That way if something happens to the drive the OS resides on, even if it is a catastophic physical failue (like a head crash), the data is safe on the second drive. And I back up the second drive as necessary. |

Partitioning a Hard drive
Might also look at a second hard drive since they are getting dirt cheap is
you can find them on sale or with rebates. Works wonders with Photoshop and the like. Also you can physically have your data removed or duplicated from the main drive.
