when you delete /boot from your list you can create all four partiotions as primary.
What is the advantage of running only on primary partition?
Generally none at all.
I don't think it is any advantage using c: and d: for data (i have an experience with that). a lot of stupid win programs assumes your data are on c: and you will have to deal with this defalt setting
When you have a choice, don't use stupid apps. The rest allow you to put data in a proper location instead of stupid windoze defaults. Most stupid windoze apps can be prevented from imposing their stupidity by restricting the space available on C:. Make C: a 7.8 megabyte partition, installing the windoze OS to D:, and you can easily fill C: to 0 freespace, preventing stupid app mischief.
Hmmm.... Maybe I should'n then. I was considering it, because I whought it would be smart with one partitions for the WinOS, which could then be reinstalled without affecting the large mp3 collection (40 gb from iPod).
The best approach is always segregating data from the OS, and preferably from app storage as well, unless of course you never back up, in which case nothing matters, since your goal is to run till something breaks, then start all over from 0. -- "If you are wise, your wisdom will reward you;" Proverbs 9:12 NIV Team OS/2 ** Reg.
