A general standard is to have one partition entirely for the OS only. Have another partition for your applications. The less you fragment an OS partition the better it will perform. Adding and removing programs and or files will fragment a partition. True you can defrag it but it is just good practice to have the OS on its own partition. Don't want to have to worry about low space or log files that have to be deleted because applications are taking up some valuable space. It is a preference, not a performance bonus.

Are there any performances hits with large disks with one partition? I have a habit of partitioning into 10gig increments, however a friend hates partitioning at all. I told him that it's better for performance, but actually I just kinda made that up. But for the sake of knowing, is there a loss of performance on larger partitions? P.S. He's a personal friend so it's no biggie, I did break a server build or anything. =P Bacardi K. Bryant, MCP Assistant Manager of Technology Kinko's, Inc.
