Re: Partition size

Notebook come without OS. So want install win xp, and create some partitions, at least one.
As to software, just not sure how would be better, to install programs on C:, together with OS, or into separate partition.
Seems, usually software installed in one partition with OS.

Thanks.

You need to provide more information. For example, why are you creating partitions and do you intend to install your software on C: or another partition?
