Partatining & File System

[jpushkarh]

I have 74 GB Segate HDD

Case 1

• 1 gb FAT32 for Windows 98 w/o Program Files
• 4 gb NTFS for windows xp w/o Program files
• 10 gb Fat 32 for program files
• 10 gb Fat 32 for Video collection
• 10 gb Fat 32 for My music
• 10 gb Fat 32 for My Documents
• 10 gb NTFS for My Setups Collection
• 10 gb Fat 32
• Remaining for furter linux/OS installation

Case 2 > only windows XP

• 50 gb NTFS Wndows XP for all
• 10 gb NTFS
• 10 gb NTFS
• Remanining for free Further Os installation

When i switched to Case 2 then for windows xp i found Drastic Change in Speed. First i have habbit to use partation based data management but i am happy now with folder based data management @ NTFS file system + Win XP

those two 10 gb prartations was also wrong step

so just Enjoy Speed w/o partation NTFS disk + windows XP

[theraven]

actually partitioning helps quite a bit ... tho even i bypass it ( but thats a secret ... so shhh!! )... i just dun like 2 things .. i hate runnin out of space on a partition .. and i HATE when u have to move files from one to the other they copy instead of move
its quite a stupid thing to do ... i must say ... but to each his/her own
