How do you partition your hard drives ?

Just carrying out the 6 monthly reinstallation of Windows and was wondering what others do with their hard drives.

I have a Maxtor 120Gb drive with 8Mb cache - so relatively quick.

Usually I allocate about 6Gb to the OS on a C: partition, then install applications on the D: partition which is on the same drive.

Data is generally stored on another, slower drive on a different IDE channel and backed up externally.

So 46Gb on the fast drive is allocated - suggestions welcome for best use.

The primary IDE channel also has a CDRW drive.

SATA is an option which will be visited later in the year.
