Partitioning is good. Separate physical drives are even better! I have one 15 gig (the smallest I could get at the time!) just for my operating system. My other (bigger) hard drive is partitioned so that I have one logical drive just for my applications, another for data files and a couple of assorted others for various specific uses like building a CD-ROM image before burning the CD itself, mirrors of a couple of web sites I maintain, etc., etc. -- Mark Roberts www.robertstech.com - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List.
