Well now that school's out for the summer for me I've decided its time to play HD clean up. As things stand my main HD is a mess of partitions so I figure I'm going to do a complete wipe and reinstall of my OS's. Apparently the way its set up right now its gives certain programs dificulty with copy protection routines, go figure.
Any way my plan is I want 3 partitions
1 for Vista x86 because of a single stupid program I use to eliminate DRM that requires a dang 32 bit virtual driver that refuses to work with any x64 system
1 for Vista x64 just for safety's sake &
1 for Win 7 RC x64 and then later RTM which I'll have via MSDN as soon as its out.
Anyway its a 1T hd and I am just wondering, size wise how big to make each partition. Like I said I only need the x86 version of Vista because of Media Converter Pro. And wouldn't be using that OS for anything else. I haven't tried Win7 32 bit so it might run with that as well.
I havn'e had any problems so far with Win7 RC x64 but figured keeping a Vista x64 setup would be a good idea for now. Just in case some other app gets finiky.
Anyway would really appreciate some feedback on what ppl think would be the best options and what size to make the partitions. Please vote and feel free to post any advice its all appreciated.
