I'm setting up a new XP pro installation and am having a dilemma over
partitions. I have a Maxtor 250GB SATA drive that I want to split into 2
partitions; a system partition of about 30GB and the rest for data. Maxtor
recommend using their software to partition & format drives, not
Microsoft's. Having done this I end up with a primary partition for the
system and an extended partition with a logical drive in for the data. My
question is what the difference is in terms of performance etc. I know
there are various limitations on the number of logical drives in an extended
partitions and so on but don't really care about that, more the reliability
/ performance.
Thanks guys
