Partition Magic blues.

[enticer86]

Hello ppl

I hav a 40 gb HDD, with 512 ram @ 2.00ghz. The hard disk has 3 partitions:
10 gb for windows, and 15+15 others

Now i am getting the Partition magic soft to resize the partition and thinking abt keepin one windows drive and the other for data and stuff.

What shud b the appropriate partition? Currently am using abt 5GB of data, so shud i go with 25gb [windows] and 15gb[data]?

Pls advice.

depends on what u use ur computer for

if u install applications requiring more space it makes sense to have a larger partition size

Thats y i need a partition, but am confused: Currently am not using even 5gb in data, so i think i shud keep the data space at 15GB max.

Oh btw, i do hope it wud make a difference with Windows in 10gb and Windows in 25GB
