Ive noticed a few times that people say to have 2 partions on your HDD. 1 for the OS and the other for personal files. How would i go about this, as in what size would i make the OS partion? And if you have 2 partions, does the second partion have its own drive letter?

-Thanx

yes, the second partition has a different drive letter, as for how to going about it, it is a complicated process in which you can accidently delete all your files, so if you haven't done it before, i would suggest downloading a program called Partition Magic, if you can't figure out how to use it, post a reply and i'll tell you.

yes, if you use Partition Magic, you can merge some of the spare space from your HD into another partition without formatting.
