Recommendation number 4 is to intelligently divide up your hard drives into meaningful partitions that are less than 8 GB in size. Before we start to recommend what you will use the different partitions for, let me review with you the types of partitions that you can have on your hard drive.
	Each hard drive can have two types of partitions on them, either Primary partitions or Logical partitions. Because of how you will use these different partition types, I recommend that you keep your primary partitions only on the beginning of the first hard drive and that you make all the other partitions on your system logical partitions.
	You can have up to four primary partitions on each hard drive. If you have logical partitions on the same hard drive, then you can only have up to three primary partitions on that drive. Only one primary partition is active at a time on each hard drive and the others are hidden from use and cannot be accessed. The active primary partition on your first hard drive is given the drive letter c: Again, keep primary partitions on the first hard drive only.
