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.

Re: How many drives/partitions do you have?
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.

Re: How many drives/partitions do you have?
I haven't gotten around to doing any partitioning yet... thus far, it is:
A: 3.5" floppy
C: 40GB HDD
D: CD-ROM
E: DVD+/-RW
F: SmartCard
G: CompactFlash
... B: would be reserved for the 5.25" floppy if I ever was insane enough to find a reason to search for and install one. I'm probably going to be getting an extra HDD or so in a few months, and possibly replace the 3.5" floppy with a ZIP (or hey, why not have both? Seems a bit of a waste to not use a FDD that has survived ten years and four different computers).
