Should I partition my drives....
I have a pretty fast system with a 160GB external hardrive for my music. Eventually it will be part of a high end PC audio sytem. Do I need to partition the external drive if it holds nothing but music. Should I partition my internals if they also hold music and the OS? How difficult is it to partition? I am running XP
thanks. |

Re: Should I partition my drives....
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. |
