disk partition (help me understand)

Vidya · 20 Nov 2011 at 20:52

when im installing windows 7 should I have one smaller partition (100mb) for system and the rest (914.4GB) named as (primary)

or should I just extend the partition so it's just named (system) without any other partitions (914.5gb)

which way would be best?

what does it actually do, making a system partition

why? sorry I'm asking but I just like to know why a lot of the time

I'm installing windows again, I just have minor OCD and I didn't know if I should just go with unallocated space or the two partitions, one system, one primary

What's actually better

1: letting it create a seperate 100mb system partition and a primary partition (rest of the gbs)

2: just having the 1 massive unallocated space

3: having it called partition 1 but basically the same as unallocated space by extending the primary
