I've read a lot about partitioning a hard drive with Partition Magic to separate applications from data. How much or what percentage should be assigned to each? I realize it's like asking how long is a piece of string, and the number & size of apps & data files dictate how much will be needed, but where does one start for a ballpark?
What about other OS's like Linux? Would it go in a third partition along with its apps? And a fourth partition for its associated data?
My new notebook has a 80GB HD. 5GB has been set aside (by Windows?) for restore points, Windows is hogging another 5GB, so I'm left with 60GB.
TIA
