This is fresh new hard drive that is an exact replica of my old one, size and
all. it's an Acer that I'm reinstalling everything from scratch. no hidden
partitions or anything like that. I've built my own desktop but have never
partitioned a hard drive before cause I've always had a separate drive. I'll
be backing everything up with Acronis just like my desktop. Just need to know
how much space to reserve the C: drive for programs.

I just bought a new 100GB hard drive for my old laptop which has beenget
refurbished. I need to split the hard disk for a C and a D drive. One for
Windows XP, the other for personal files. When I load the XP disk and I
to the partition screen, it ask me how many KB I want to allocate for XPand
shows that I have about 95MB's available. I didn't split the drive yet
because I didn't understand the question. How can I have a 100GB drive and
the available disk space says only 95KB.
Some custom instal routines (e.g. Dell and Toshiba) reserve part
of the hard drive for a hidden logical drive (with no driveletter) for
system purposes.
