I just built a new system with a 640 gig WD sata hard drive. I am running winXP Pro 32 bit.

Can anyone tell me the typical partition sizing for something like this?

I assume there would be several logical drives on this hard drive other than the C: partition.

What is a good size for the operating system partition and how many others should I make? Any suggestions? I never owned a drive this big before.
