Hello,

I'm going to reformat my computer. I use the Windows XP CD to reformat (By deleting and recreating a partion). But people have been making 2 or more partions. Usaly one for windows OS and other patition for the rest. I though it might be a good ideal. Can you tell me the Pros And Cons about putting OS on seperate partitions.

And can someone tell me about how much space windows XP needs with all the current updates and such.

Thanks
