My XP setup usually looks something like this: C: System 10 GB D: Downloads 10 GB E: Programs 10-20 GB F: Files 30-40 GB (approx) By moving all programs and the virtual disk off C:, backups and images are an easily utilized size. My routine is to make an Image (with Acronis) of the C: and E: partitions. If I run into a problem, I can restore the image and be up and running within the hour (usually less).
