It is a 160 GB and I need it for a dual boot machine (Linux and WinXP for a 40 GB iPod). I have something like this in mind:
"Primary partition":
WinXP NTFS 60 GB
"Extended partition" (with the following "logical partitions"):
/boot ext3 50 MB /swap swap 512 MB / ext3 10 GB /home ext3 50 GB
Is that OK?
