Recommended Partition Size
I have 2 500GB SATA drives. I'm thinking of partitioning one of them. The first partition will have the W7 OS only, the second will be for apps, games, documents, etc. This is what I did on XP and it worked well.
Couple questions:
What is the recommended partition size from experienced users? I used the Windows XP recommended partition size and I found myself with 2 - 6 GB free after a year or so. What are most people comfortable with on W7?
Does it really matter? I want to partition the drives in order to organize my data, but does putting the OS on a separate partition increase/decrease performance? What exactly does it accomplish other than feeding my pseudo OCD?
I was thinking 100 GB for the OS partition. Thoughts?
