This is interesting. I'm just in the process of setting my two hard
drives up (30 Gb and 80Gb) to dual boot winxp and Mandriva 2006. It's
a bit messy at the moment and I don't have a very clear idea of what
layout would be best. I'm thinking hda 10Gb winxp ntfs, 5 Gb / ext3, 3
Gb swapext3, 12 Gb /home ext3
hdb 30 Gb fat 32, 30Gb fat32, 20 Gb ext3. At the moment the fat32
partitions are mounted under /mnt and the 20Gb ext2 on hdb is unmounted.
Where do you mount your fat32 partitions DL?

What I'd do is use your 30GB for the root partitions of both OSs. 15 for
Winblows, 15 for / (including /tmp, etc.). Then use the 80 for backing
up and a swap and /home. I don't know if you use much harddrive space or
have much music or what so you'll need to determine this. You might also
use a partition on the 80 gigger that's maybe 5-10GB for transferring
files between Winblows and Linux. If you're a major music-head and have
a decent collection (several gigs), you might even make a seperate
partition just for that.
Confused?
