recovery: partitioning of hard drive

[Guest]

My notebook's hard (drive60g) has a partition that was divided automatically
when I did a recovery operation. I had it set before to 50/50 but this time
for some reason my "custom" install went to 15% to "C" and the rest to my
"D". Does it matter? I run a video editing program that is fairly
heavy(premier pro). I have 768ram and use an external hard drive as well. My
C drive has little space left. Will this cretae problems or is this partition
just arbitrary? (Most of my work programs I put on "D".......)

You can live happily with an unbalanced partitioning: only be sure that you
maintain at least 3 Gb free on the C Drive for SWAP file and Internet History
[or else manually change these to the D Drive].

All programs files that you install should be manually selected to D Drive
and also you can move My Documents folder to D drive.

Doing this will not alter the performance of your computer.

Google "resize windows NTFS partition" or similar for programs that will
resize a partition without loss of data. 9g isn't a lot of room and if you
decide to keep it I suggest moving the page file to D
