Good day,
I just got a new laptop with Windows 7 and am getting ready to set everything up. I've run into a small roadblock on the partitioning front. The machine has a single drive of around 450 gb with a C: partition and two others. One is named "System Reserved" and the other is blank, but is listed as a Recovery Partition under Status. Just wondering what these two other partitions are for and if I can utilize them. I'm looking to divide the drive in this way.
5 gb - Main Windows Partition (OS)
10 gb - Linux Partition
1 gb - Linux Swap Partition
25 gb - Normal programs
30+ gb - Games / Larger programs
30+ gb - School / Business
60 gb - Norton Ghost Images
40 gb - General backup and storage
The leftover will go into Games and Business. Any suggestions on the partition scheme are appreciated, I got the basic structure off another website.
