I don't see any reason to partition the external drive if it's only going to have music on it. I always partition my physical drive that has the OS on it however. I keep only the OS on one partition, and everything else on the other.

You should look into getting Partition Magic - heck of a program that makes this task easy, and it's well worth the price.

on a side note, if its possible i would create about 2-4GB of allocated space for virtual memory on the primary disk.
