Here's what I will be doing as soon summer school is over for me:
1. Partition my 40GB hard drive with about a 640MB primary partition in FAT32, a 15GB in NTSF for XP, a 10 GB NTSF for video capture, and the rest for downloads and Linux :linux:, whenever I feel like installing Linux.
2. Partition my 10GB in FAT32 for Windows 98SE only.
3. Install Win98SE to D:\ (the 10GB drive)
4. Install and format XP to E:\ (the 15GB partition in the 40GB drive)
The reason for the 640MB primary partition is three-fold: 1 & 2) 256MB swap files for XP and 98SE, and 3) for either XP's boot manager or LILO's boot manager.
I only use Partition Magic if i intend to move or resize partitions from drive to drive; I've never liked it to just make partitions from blank drives.
