Lets say the hdd is 500GB, They don't create a single partition which happens to be almost 500GB, right?

Normally Dell ships with a single partition occupying the whole HDD.
But if you Customize Dell (tm?) it gives you 2 options.
1. Single partition of 40 GB for windows and another partition
2. Single partition of 60 GB for Windows and another partition
However if you order it with what is called CLASSIC installation, then the engineer who comes on-site will do any kind of partitioning you need.

We order hundreds of Dells a year, and so far, all are single partitions, I guess we could request 2 separate ones, but in ways is pointless as with all Dell machines, we normally wipe the HD due to the amount of crap they installed, a fresh clean install with XP, clone the image and then load onto others.

If it is a Windows machine, you will get one small hidden recovery partition at the beginning of the disk that contains the system recovery image, and the rest of it will be a single visible NTFS partition.
If it is an Ubuntu Linux machine, you will get the standard Ubuntu partitioning scheme: One large ext3 partition at /, and one small Linux swap partition at the end of the space.

As it is on an exterior rigidity its relatively ordinary to do. circulate into disk administration of XP and create 2 familiar partitions on the rigidity, each would desire to be set to how plenty you prefer for NTFS and FAT32, remembering to leave an unallocated section for the Mac Partition. as quickly as the two partitions are created you will would desire to format them subsequently, and as quickly as executed boot with the MAC OS Installer disk to configure the ideal partition or plug into the MAC to try this bit. remember you would be able to desire to lose around 200gb on a 1TB rigidity so take this under consideration whilst arising the partitions.

I believe you can request a partition, the size of it and how many you would like. Call them and ask
