hi all......
this is a damn basic question....but i aim to do it by myself...and i am new to hardware stuff....
i just bought a 40GB IBM HD 60 GXP...what's the best way to partition it....
my guess.......
1. just leave it as it is...all a `C`
2. 3 GB for the operating system and program files as C, and the rest as D for the data
3. i read earlier on this forum about something called a swap file...or virtual file....that should be about 1 GB to help the HD to act faster...but as i said i'm ignorant....
so any help as to what to do and how to do it ( in simple english ) would be greatly appreciated.....thanks..
