I agree. But, do to the fact that I layed out some serious cash for my
Dell Dimenison XPSB 733 workstation, I thought that I would experiment
with the partitioning on my other computer. In fact, I am emailing my
messages to you - as I am typing. I was thinking of purchasing System
Commander 2000 from V Communications. It also includes a partitioning
package. Other than the price, does it matter which one I use?
I will be installing Linux Mandrake 7.0 on my Dell Dimension XPS M166
with Windows 98SE, and about 64 MB. of RAM. I have a 10 Gig. drive to
experiment with. It's a lot slower but I wanted to read as much as I can
before partitioning. I keep reading all of these panic emails and it
concerns me.
In reference to the NTFS, I couldn't agree with you more. The 14 Gig. is
a lot of wasted space. I have been using it for storing back ups and
downloads. But, the only item that I am concerned about is losing my
factory preset image file. Apparently, it is located in the NTFS
partition under Z drive, and it's hidden.
