[QUOTE="change, post: 1402833, member: 251345"] I'm not planning to install Windows, but there are a few pretty good reasons why the hard drive should be partitioned. Have a look at that article: [url=http://gigaom.com/apple/the-case-for-partitioning-your-macs-hard-drive/]The Case for Partitioning Your Mac’s Hard Drive — Apple News, Tips and Reviews[/url] I especially like reason nr 2 and 3: 2. Troubleshooting is easier if you have two bootable partitions. 3. By dividing up critical data, there’s less likelihood of catastrophic data loss due to file corruption. For example, a partition used strictly for document storage is unlikely to be affected by a serious system crash. [/QUOTE]
