primary partitions
25 Gb C: drive for OS and "Program Files"
200 Gb D: drive for data
4 Gb E: drive for windows swap and for hibernation
extended partition
4 Gb for a Knoppix install with all the extras (to reset your Windows
passwords when it breaks, for example, or to recover files from NTFS
when Windows refuses to boot)
17 Gb for an experimental Linux install (Ubuntu or Fedora or SuSE) -
you'll like it! - possibly broken up as /boot, /swap, /var, /home,
/root, depending on who you want to listen too, but free space for you
to experiment with.
