I'm asking out of curiosity, but given that Windows 7 includes a screenshot utility that works perfectly for posting images on this forum, why would any 3rd party app be needed? What features does it have that aren't present in the Snipping Tool? | | My System Specs | | OS Windows 7 Ultimate x64 SP1

You don't need a separate partition for that, especially one located before your system volume. I'm a big fan of not over-partitioning a drive. | | My System Specs | | OS Windows 7 Ultimate x64 SP1
