I GOT 5 PARTIONS ON MY COMPUTER!
Always good to have a empty, or unused partion!!

Zero, I have 1 80gb harddrive, I need all the space on it... I had multiple harddrives at one point, but I rarely used the extra HDs... and since I'm not running a server, there was no point, so I just used the extra HDs to build some extra comps.

Shouldn't you at least have the one that windows needs in order to run? Anyhow, I have the single partition setup on my HD. WD120 with the 8MB buffer!!!

No, because a partition would imply division. I'm old school, I don't consider it a partition unless there are more than one. I'm just used to the days where you need to have partition magic to create partitions rather than doing it through the windows install disk.

i despise partitions, especially when your computer crashes and you have to re-install your os

I have 3 partitions one 80gb second 40gb third 120gb. Plus if you need to reinstall an OS it does not ruin ur data from the same drive that has a partition... It is split so u just delete one side and reinstall from there.

I have 2 hard disks. 1 40 GB and another form my old computer, 3.4 GB.

By the way, how do you even attach 5 hard disks? I thought the maximum is 2? Of course, exteral hard drives are another thing but for internal ones there can only be master and slave.

Unless, you can have more than 1 slave?

Please tell me aobut it. My HDD is barely holding out...I need to add a new HDD...!
