Hi, I currently have windows installed on a 1 TB hard drive, but am getting a 250 GB SSD soon and want to install it on that. I plan to reinstall Windows. I want to use the SSD for Windows obviously and some 9ther programs, but the HDD for mass storage, so how would I partition those? Also how big should I make each one?
As above, don't partition your SSD. SSD's don't like that.
For the hard disk, if you want to do it the lazy way, you can just keep it as a single partition. Basically, when deciding on how much to partition/sizes, consider what sort of stuff you want to organize the drive around.
For instance, a very strong recommendation is to partition it appropriately if you make use of games, primarily through steam. In this way, if you have to reset your computer, you do not have to lose all your installed games to do it. You should additionally have a partition to keep your user files on, for largely the same reason.
As for size, that's something for you to judge. If your current or main PC is still in a working state, it might serve you well to check the size of:
C:\Users\<Userprofile>
C:\Program Files / (x86)
The first will inform you how much space you're generally using for your user files. The second will inform you of how much space you're using for your programs - this is largely moot as those will probably be on the SSD, but if you need additional space for them you can use a partition on your HDD. I tend to mount it into an NTFS folder (you'll see this option in the Create and Format... Partions tool I mention below) under "Program Files (HDD)" if needbe.
However, make sure if you have your games bundled in with that that you check C:\Program Files\Steam and do the math to get the separate figures for that.
Is this all the apps you'd otherwise install? If so, you can partition pretty tightly on that basis. If not, consider what you'd need for expansion. My experience has been, with just Windows and my non-games, 250GB is more than enough for the boot drive (aka: leave your SSD unpartitioned) and then... games and userprofile is something you'd have to determine.
Keep in mind you may lose data if you already have this drive in use when you repartition it. ALWAYS BACK UP.
In terms of doing the partitioning, when you're installing Windows you can use that, or later before you have all your stuff around, you can search for "Create and Format Hard Disk Partitions" in Start and it will bring up the tool to do this. Keep in mind the measurements are in MB, so make sure you're using the same units and be careful what you're formatting.
Getting data from a formatted drive is very awkward, so it's best you make a back up before you start if needbe, and look carefully at the sizes of the drives/labels to make sure they're the ones you want to wipe.
