30gb = OS
90gb = games and other programs
external 120gb = saved pictures and backups

When I build a new system I will be doing probably 3 320 gig drives or something like that. Will be much easier to seperate everything out. You just have to decide where you want to put everything and make sure you follow through with it.

With a shit load of drives, you might forget and just save to the main drive. Maybe put a stickie and remind yourself not to install or download to c.

I kept doing that and my 30gig which was supposed to be for os filled up really quickly because i kept forgetting to change the "c" when installing programs.

figure out how many partitions you need and try to stick to it.
