I'm about to install Windows 7 on a terrabyte hard drive. I thought I might have one partition for each of the following:
- The Windows install
- Program Files
- Data (Documents, Music, Films)
- A Linux OS (probably Ubuntu)
Obviously 2 and 3 are up to me but how large should I make the two OS partitions?
Now this is the first time I've installed an OS (sort of), so please excuse the noobishness. Presumably I should go into the boot menu set priority to: Optical Drive -> Drive I want to install Win 7 on. Then when the installation begins it will let me choose which drive to install it onto. It will then format the drive and install Win 7 and then I'll be able to create further partitions within Windows.
Is that about right? I just want to be absolutely sure of myself before I start :S
