I am getting next week a WD1200JB HDD. I will be using WinXP Pro so I would like to know, whether the way I will partition this hard drive can have an impact on my system's performance (either positive or negative).
Firstly, what's better to use, NTFS or FAT32 on my OS? I know each one has its advantages so having all that in mind, which of the two do you suggest? Also, will it make any difference if I split up this drive to 4 or 5 partitions instead of having just one 120GB partition?
