Hi,

I'm building a new desktop system and have a nice new SATA II hard drive of 250GB.
My previous drive (IDE), which I am removing has two partitions. One partition for the system and the other for all my photo, music, re-install files, etc.

I have read somewhere that using a second partition on a hard drive effects performance.

Question - Will I negatively effect the hard drive performance if I create a second partition of around 80GB for my permanent files?

I want to use my old hard drive in an external enclosure but if that suddenly decides not to work one day I will lose everything!!

Advice????

Thanks

Stu
