Post subject: How to partition your hard drive

Many people, have only one partition on their computer. This means that all of your operating system, program, and documents are on the same logical drive. As a result, if your operating system crashes, it is more likely that you will loose all of your documents. In order to avoid this, you should partition your drive into 3 segments. One partition for your operating system and program files, one for your operating system paging file, and one for your documents. For example, if you have a 40 GB hard drive, we recommend 15 GB for the OS and Programs, 5 GB for the paging file, and 20 GB for your documents.

This configuration will help to limit your exposure to crashes, and get you back up and running quickly.
