| | New Hard Drive Partitions Question I just installed a new hard drive and have it partitioned into 3 partitions as shown below.  I must have messed up when partitioning using Disk Manager because all three partitons ended up being Primary Partitions. My intentions are to used this Hard Drive just for Data, Pictures, Musis etc. Is the any advantage or disadvantage to leaving these partitions as "Primary". Thank You |

| | A HDD can have up to a maximum of 4 Primary Partitions, so I would say that you are fine with it as it is. |

| | Thanks Dwarf Since there is only data involved, I did NOT think it would matter. |

| | I always use only primary partitions. To me, there's no reason to ever go above 4 partitions on a single drive anyway...I won't go above two for my own organizational purposes. |
