when install win-2000 on new hdd, there is an options:

- to set up win 2000 on the selected item, press Enter;
- to create a partition in the unpartitioned space, press C;
- to delete the selected partition press, D

I need only one partition(not divided into smaller), should I create it
still (C), or just press Enter and windows will create one?(maximal)

Partitions were made to make life easier for users. If you install the operating
system on a disk with just 1 partition you will have trouble with backups and
Images (Acronis) being much too large. If you want to change the OS you may have
a very difficult time. With just 10-15 GB of partition for the OS and the rest
in parts no bigger than 100GB you will have something easily managed whatever
goes wrong. With Acronis Images you can get back up running in 30-45 minutes
with a disk of 320GB if managed correctly.

For your information, my stats are:
Win 2000 Pro, Pentium IV 3Ghz
1 Gb memory,ADSL
200+200 GB disks partitioned C:D:E;as 9.76GB 88.2GB,88.2GB
F: G: as 93.1,93.1 for data
External 320GB USB2 for Acronis Images (backups)
