Hi ppl,

I am about to install w2k server on one ide hdd, 120gb.
I will use the ntfs.
Some ppl say, that it should not be splitted into two or more partition,
some of them says 'go ahead, separate system from data'.
Some of them even put the swap on a separate partition...

Same story for XP Prof.
A friend of mine splits an 120 gig disk into four FAT32 partitions..
Isn't this a bit...unwise?

Where can I find some materials about this Q.?

Thx in advance,

Tibby

On a workstation, I never ever split the disk.

On a server, I wouldn't consider doing anything but having a separate system
and data partition. I'd go for 16Gb as a system partition.

Regards

Oli
