Re: 40 gig HD

Hum,
A tip would be to have the main system partition about 500Mb (no more than 1 gig) - this would help to cut down the time of defragmenting the drive, etc...(And would contain the workbench and libs: ,  etc)

On my system i have 10 partitions (spread over 3 HD`s), with at least two bootable partitions - one partition being the emergency boot, and only 10 Mb in size. (This has saved me on many an occasion), and set at a lower boot priority..

Another partition (on different HD to main sys:)  i use as a backup device - just drag and drop...

And of course i have the usual pictures, web, music and programs partitions.

The only thing to remember, is to set the default 30 buffer sizes on each partition to an amount that corresponds to what it'll be used for, (eg 200Kb for my 540Mb SYS: , 20Kb for Storage etc) , as too much `buffer`  eats up the chip memory...(depending on your set-up).

[Hum, well that set-up suits me] :-)
