Re: How many drives/partitions do you have?
 
I have a hard drive partitioned as T and X, a hard drive partitioned as C and D, a DVD-ROM drive (F), a CDR-RW drive (E), and how ever many virtual drives I need at any given moment. Does that count? I did have to select that (seriously...) Category. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

I like to keep things simple, C: for HD, D: for DVD, and E: for CD-RW.

<font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">Just one partition for the HD? Wow, you like to live dangerously don't you?

Personally I learnt the hard way that is is much better/safer to have Windows on it's own partition (5 gig works well for me) and everything else on one or more other partitions.

I really hope your HD never crashes, if it ever does, believe me, I can feel your pain.

Umm, Dave, if his HD crashes its likely to take out the whole thing, paritions and all.

Now, windows crashes could be a different story.

Re: How many drives/partitions do you have?
 
I'm talking about windows crashes, they are much more common than a true HD crash.
