EDIT:

Additional question:
How many partitions do you have on your main drive, and what do you use them for?

errm..... Netryder? think u have to explain that one. lol

15 + 75 = 90 ...... i'm guessing you mean 15 GB and 65 GB?

partition 1 = 80GB (Windows XP Pro and programs)
partition 2 = 30GB (backup and downloads)

Hahah, sorry about that. Was in a hurry to leave for class.
Yes, I did mean 15+65. I'll correct it in the original post.

and i'm kinda getting the feeling that someone's gonna ask me "why did you make your OS and programs partition so much bigger?", and the reason i did that..... i don't care about what programs i installed. lol. the only backup i've made as of right now is right after i get the very few programs i like to have on my PC on it, such as mIRC and all my required drivers, stuff like that.
