what are the advantages to having your hd partitioned? im guessing faster speeds when doing everyday tasks but im not sure can some one explain this to me

The only downside to your large partitions is that it will take longer to defrag them.

@Adam,
AutoPatcherXP is indeed a wonderful program...I'd estimate that it knocks about 1/2-3/4 hr off the Windows installation time.
The March release will still leave you with 6-7 Critical Updates to get from MS, but you should be relatively safe going on the internet to get them.

That's more like 3 or 4, not 6 or 7.

Sory, but I beg to differ.
I just reformatted/reinstalled XP Pro this morning.
I required 7 Critical Updates after using AutoPatchXP.
