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.

I'm talking about windows crashes, they are much more common than a true HD crash.

Default 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).

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

A: 3.5" floppy
C: 5GB System Partition
D: 20GB Program and Data Partition
E: CD 72X Kenwood True X (reads 7 tracks at a time)
F: DVD Player
G: CDR Lite-On 48x

After 4 years Win98 crashed. I think my privacy program attacked my security program.
I took the advice of some members on this board and created a seperate partition for the operating system.
Now if I have to, I can reformat drive C: and reload windows, without losing my games and data on drive D:.
