Unless you have a special reason to create an extra partition, I'd keep it 
simple and just have a single partition and run VMWare Workstation for 
development of SQL if you have enough RAM. I find it hard to believe that the 
unit has a 80 GB HD limitation, though.

Subject: [internetworkers] Partitioning Advice

Hi Folks,

I just replaced a dead hard drive in a Compaq Presario R3000Z.  The new drive 
is 80 GB, the largest that this machine will accommodate.  Do any of you have 
suggestions on how to partition it?  The machine is a home machine which I 
use mostly for MS Office, email, Web browsing, and a little bit of SQL Server 
and MySQL work.  I'm pondering just creating two partition, one for the OS 
(XP) and one for everything else.  Is there any reason that I should create 
more than these two?

Thanks much!

Colleen
