What would be a good optimized way to partition a 40 GB IDE harddisk for desktop use.
The system may contain the following OS.
1) Windows XP (to run windows based applications) 2) RH (use daily) 3) Freebsd (to experiment) 4) Someother linux distro (to experiment).
Some where I read creating one primary and one extended partition.
The primary would contain the NTFS and the other filesystem are in the extended.
Important data would be stored on NTFS partition so that in case of harddisk crash, the datas can still be recovered.
Some suggestions and comments would be very helpful.
Is it required that the boot files of a operating system should be within 1024 cylinders?
Thanks in advance, siva
