[QUOTE="bobtomay, post: 411143, member: 24160"] My internal is partitioned into a 100GB for OS X and 20GB for XP. My back up drive has only a 60GB partition for the backup of OS X and the balance for my movies and music. Doubt my OS X partition will ever actually take up 60GB of data, unless I load several large games, as I am pretty fanatical about keeping systems lean and mean and deleting stuff I no longer use. I am always installing new stuff to check out and for the most part it's ends up being deleted within a week. The primary reason I use the 2 partition method really is because I know how much writing and deleting I will be doing to the movie and music portion of the drive. It probably doesn't matter, just felt it a little safer to have a separate partition for my OS X back up. Of course if the drive fails, the different partitions won't help any. [/QUOTE]
