partitioning

[Maaria]

One good reason to partition a hard drive is if you share your 
computer with someone else. You have your stuff on your partition , 
they have theirs. It makes somewhat happier bedfellows. Another 
reason is if perhaps, as is my case, I have my academic musings on 
one partition, and regular everyday resources on the other. I believe 
my hard drive was partitioned right after I swapped out my OEM 4GB 
for an 80 GB. I used the drive set-up utility that was part of my OS 
9.2. If you can start fresh with a new hard drive, or don't mind 
doing away with the info on your  "old" hard drive, I encourage you 
to experiment, be sure of course to have your OS disk available for 
installation.
