I always partition like this:
C:/ 20Gb = Windows Proffesional
D:/ 20Gb = Windows Home Edition
E:/ Whatevers left = Mass Storage
I use Win Pro as my "primary OS" should this become attacked, get a virus or crash then I can still boot up with my "secondary OS", copy any files from the primary and reformat if needbe.
The reason i partition 20Gb is because its very economical and less time consuming when runing scans, antivirus, defrag etc as opposed to defragging 200Gb
in Mass Storage i can dump 50Gb music in 1 folder, 50Gb movies in 1 folder, a Pix folder with all my photos, a utilities folder where i keep all the programs i want, an OS folder where i store win98,2000,ME,XP, Micro.Office etc
if my computer gets attacked by viruses it will attack my C or D drives (viruses are NOT written for files in mass storage) or crashes big time then i can easily format C & D drives and my mass storage is always safe and intact
