Topic: Problem formatting Hard Drive

[Sandra]

I was just letting Kevin know that he would only have the NTFS option available, unless he made the partition smaller than 32 gig Mac.
 
I usually just make the second partion another primary one so that it leaves all the options open in case I want to dual boot or something like that later

Oops, 5% is a bit low! Need to keep 15% free-space on all partitions really for defrag to work properly. More where the paging file needs to grow and there are a lot of temporary files which accumulate during a session.

I just use the 1st Logical drive within the Extended partition for a dual boot.

It is aways handy to have a dual boot if the primary OS won't boot for some reason, or to have a KNOPPIX CD handy.
