200 GB for Windows? Isn't that a bit much? 
Edit: My setup:
Disk 1:
C: For XP, software, My Documents etc. - 170 GB
F: For Vista (I mainly use XP) - 20 GB
Disk 2:
D: Files - 230 GB
Well My at first I had a 50GB partition for Vista then when I noted that after installation it took a big chunk 18-20Gb dont remember exact, and on installing the softwares I use + office 20007 my C: is now like 35GB used so i thoght it would be beeter to have a BIG C: as I plan to get games on it...
Plus I dont have a very huge data of my own 500-600MBs of softwares, 2GB of personal data including pictures and videos.... and 3GB worth music

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 
) 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
