It'll be some wat easy to locate a software and easy to manage them.
The default windoes partition is full of wisndows related stuff.
So hard to manage our files with them.
I have Six partitions
80GB 4 partitions
40GB 2 Partitions.
But they are not equal in size.
I dnt feel much difference from SATA and PATA.
My 80 is SATA and 40 is PATA.
They both work fine.
