I always create one partition for the OS and Programs, and then a seperate partition for data files.

This way if the OS becomes corrupt, or needs to be wiped and re-installed, then you only need to wipe the partition with the OS and programs on, and your Data Files are untouched.

I'd also keep a backup of important data on a seperate drive/media as well.

Ok can you please advice me on how to do this.. since ive never done a hdd partion before.. also would i have to reinstall my programs when win 7 is realsed even though the files are still there ? or would they jusy show up in installed programs?

If you have access to it why not use the RTM. Install the version you ordered, don't bother with a CD key, don't activate it, just re-arm it a couple of times before the 30 days is up and activate it once your copy of Windows 7 arrives.

Ok i do not have access to the rtm do you have any ideas where i can download it ?
