RE: Disk Partitioning?
160GB SATA drive having 4 equal sized partitions. First for Windows, second for my storage files (downloads, installers etc), third for games and fourth for music, videos and movies.
I also have an old 40GB ATA drive which has no partitions and is used for storage of projects and other such stuff.

What I would like to do the next time I partition is to make a 20gb partition for windows and keep the remaining 130GB (or 140GiB 8-)) for all my other stuff. This way my torrents and other storage can take up more space than 40gb without me having to make space.
200GB isn't enough so I just burn stuff off to dvds when I don't need them. A ritual I perform every 2-3 months.

Ideally, I would add a 500/512GB SATA drive and be done with it but I'd rather not spend that much on an hdd right now. Got different hardware to expand first viz. another gig of ram, another LCD and a mx revolution. The latter 2 are future plans but the first one should come soon :)
