Correct me if I am wrong, I often am, but if one has a 200GB

the "F Drive" for all photos of weddings, "G Drive" for all
vacations, etc, etc??
In *general* partitions are used the way Carl described, BUT
you can do it anyway you want.
I'd probably just stick it in and have ONE Partition,
actually, but for my wife I might just use it as stated
above. Or can I "not" do that?
If it is just going to be a storage device, the only reason
to format it to start with would be for management, no?
Formatting is so that the OS can use the drive/partition. Fdisk
(or XP's disk management) is used for disk management
(partitioning).
