Difference between Primary, Extended, Logical Partition
Windows 7 is coming pre-installed on my new PC from Dell. It has two 500GB HDDs.
I want to partition the first drive into just a couple of partitions. I guess I will have to shrink the main partition to about 100GB for the OS and apps.
But my question is: that partition with the OS and apps will be a 'primary' one...what will my next couple of partitions be? Logical? Extended?
I'm not sure how to decide what type of partitions to have. Any help would be great.
Thanks!
