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?

Thanks Paul,
I'm thinking along those lines but it will be a day or two before I'm
able to get to it.

Richard
