I have a bit of extra time and I'll probably be adding Linux to this computer soon. My question is, I have one 150GB (160 'decimal' GB) physical hard drive, split into a 119GB and a 29GB partition.

Here is what I have:<P>two HD one is 6 gigs 5200 rpm the other 30 gig 7400 rpm<BR>Getting ready to back-up and format both.<P>Should I format them both under fat and how many partitions should I make?

My Asus Eee PC 1000H shipped with Windows XP, and it runs pretty well. But what’s the point in having an 80GB hard drive if you don’t partition it and try installing an alternate operating system ...
