I have a 80GB hdd.
I plan to have 3 partitions
5GB for winXP
20GB applications
50Gb for mp3 and movies
My first question will be,
is 5GB partition enough for winXP alone ?
I am now running winXP on NTFS, say if i wanna create the 3 partitions manually with my files backed up on another hdd which is also NTFS, i will have to convert my current drive to FAT32 from NTFS, and then boot up with a win98 boot up disk and use FDISK to do 3 partitions. Then create an NTFS partition on C: with windows on it. After windows installation, convert the other two partitions to NTFS.
Now, is this way done properly ?
Or is there another better way to do it ?
