I've just had a HDD die on me. I've currently got:

Maxtor 4D080HD - 80gig IDE (the dead one)
Western Digital WDC WD2000JD-22HBB0 - 200gb Sata

Am thinking of buying a 500gig one to have as a replacement to the 80 which was my C drive (windows etc)

Should I think about partitioning the drive? If so how big should I make the C: Drive?

or should I try to clear down the 200 and use that for the c:?

Which HDD would run better as the C: Drive?

My MOBO is a Gigabyte GA-K8NF-9 nForce4

Does anyone know if this will run a SATA2 drive?

Can anyone recommend a 500gb HDD please :)

Cheers,

G
