hard drive partition help

Unless you really need the 3 partitions I'd say 50gb for the OS and the rest for whatever. You might get slightly better performance by getting another disk for the OS also. For example I have 1 250gb and 1 500gb drive in my system. The 250 is the boot drive with a 50gb part and the rest as a single, the 500gb is also a single partition. The 50gb is for the OS, the remaining space I use as a backup/spare and the 500gb is my main games/docs/mp3s etc...
 
I find having a small (5-6Gb) system partition offers best performance and I can restore my ghost image in about 40 seconds :eek:
You just then need to simply move your documents and settings to another partition using the registry. (Also my default 'Programs Files' has been changed to D: using nLite)

Below is how mine is setup:

Stick with the Raptor for the OS and get a Samsung Spinpoint 500GB for everything else (including the pagefile) ;)
