You're welcome, bro. Hope I was able to help!

I agree that seems to make sense, problem is, windows and office default saving saves to where the os is, so no partition would seem logical,

 

my tech at the office says that the reason people generally make several partitions is so that the more frequently accessed programs and documents would only make "gasgas" that area of the HDD where they are partitioned, so in the event of damage, the other partitions would still be ok...

 

don't know if that makes much sense or is worth the effort, in any case I'm inclined to re-format and un partition the HDD then...

 

next question, regarding a previous post:  do I risk damaging the HDD if I re-format & unpartition it again?

 

I'm kinda surprised by the posts some of you write wherein you seem to have a lot of casualties with your HDDs...

PARAGRAPH 1:

You're probably referring to "My Documents" (where files are usually saved) being in drive C as well, am I correct? What I do is I right click on "My Documents" then click on "properties" and then click on "move" then click on "My Computer" then select "Drive D" (assuming you've partitioned your HDD into two) then click on "OK". This way, when you save to "My Documents" it automatically saves to Drive D and not Drive C (where the OS is). The logic behind this is so that when you have to reformat your drive C, all your files are still safe in drive D. Just make sure you remove any password protection, otherwise you won't be able to access those files ever again in the event you reformat drive C and don't disable your password/s. I hope I made sense, hehehe...

PARAGRAPH 4:

I have partitioned, repartitioned, unpartitioned, formatted and reformatted my drive so many times and yet it's as stable as ever. I regularly check the condition of my drives using Maxtor's utilities and it shows no sign of breaking down anytime soon. It probably depends on what brand of drive you're using. I have had a lot of bad experiences with Seagate breaking down regularly so I wouldn't recommend doing extreme acrobatics with it.

I'm a globe user. Always have been. They give very good service.

Smart has very good coverage all over the country, though, better than Globe's.

I just bought a SEAGATE 160 MB ATA drive...

 

how do you suggest I partition it?

 

you see, i partitioned it 20, 40, 40, 40 & 20

 

putting programs in the 1st 20, dox in 1st 40, pics in 2nd 40, videos in next 40 and music in last 20, but realized magulo pala sa saving...

 

what you think?  hmmmm...

 

any expert advise?

This is just me, but I only partition my drives into two segments: drive C is where I put my OS and install all my software and drive D is where I save all my documents/files. I just arrange my documents into their own folders so that they're better organized. But, again, that's just me. Others may have their own way of partitioning.

You have adware/spyware in your system. You might want to download anti-spyware programs like Adaware and Spybot Search and Destroy to get rid of those popups on your screen. Also, if you've downloaded third party toolbars for your browser, you might also try uninstalling those.

I started browsing the internet in the late 90s and back then, I was using Netscape; now I use Firefox. I never use IE unless I really have to - it's so slow!
