Yeah superspit, especially as I have limited knowledge with this kinda thing I've gone with your suggestion - I ordered a 300GB/200GB partition. I'm sure there will be those that favour a 3 way partition but at least this way I'm keeping things pretty simple! Thanks for the input!

I'm ordering a new Laptop with a 500GB 7200 rpm HD and wondering if I should partition the HD. The company I am ordering from gives the option of how you partition the HD with a maximum of 3 partitions. I am pondering something like... Partition 1) 200GB (OS and programs etc) Partition 2) 150...

Hi folks! I'm in a band who have tended to half home record stuff ourselves, and for the important stuff we would head to a decent studio. We started off on 4-track, then 8-track and most recently the Zoom HD16CD but think it is time to step up into the computer age! Whilst I realise you...
