Hi All,
I've just bought 1 TB Hitachi Hard drive. This will be my new drive and I won't be using my old 160 GB HD. So now, all data will be transferred to new one.
I want to know whats the best method to partition this new one. For now, I will be connecting this new HD and then I will partition it, and transfer the data, by copy and paste.
In this new HD, I will be installing Win 7 64 bit and Ubuntu 64 bit. What size of partition should I be doing ? What I think is:
c: 200 GB (for program files and My Documents) - For Windows 7 64 bit
d: 400 GB (data)
e: 300 GB (games)
f: 100 GB (for Ubuntu 64 bit)
Am I going right ? Also I will need to prepare a swap partition for ubuntu, so will create that from 100 GB only. Is that ok ?
Any suggestions/comments appreciated
