Re-install



New HP AMD Athlon 64 3500+ 2.2 GHZ Processor with 1 GB DDR SDRAM and 250 GB
SATA hard drive Win XP Home Edition.

The hard drive is currently partitioned as follows;
C NTSF Total 225 GB 216 GB Free
D Fat32 Total 7.5 GB 1.66 GB Free

I want to reinstall the O/S so that hopefully I can eliminate all the
bloatware and repartition at the same time. The current D partition holds
the Recovery system (OEM) and I assume it must remain as is in the new
setup. The current C is huge at 225 GB so what I would like to do is reserve
125 GB for future use, leaving me with 100 GB, which I was thinking of
dividing into 3/4 partitions. Does this make any sense, and if so, can I get
advice re the file system on the other partitions.

Thanks in advance.

Dan
