New Partitioning Strategy for Area51


Here’s how I think I’ll partition the new 250 GB HD I just installed in Area51.

Partitioning Goal:

Boot multiple Windows versions to support the widest range of current game titles.

All partitions are NTFS unless noted

20 GB - Windows 2000 (FAT32)
40 GB - Windows XP
60 GB - Windows Vista
--
120 GB (3 separate Windows installations)
+
120 GB - Data and game installations (remaining space)
====
~240 GB

I can get this off on the right foot by doing a Slipstream install for Windows 2000.
