Partatining & File System
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

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
