I just noticed that our hard drive has 19 GB allocated to C: with about 7.5 GB still free, and then there is about 17 GB of space that is unallocated. My question is would there be any advantage to leaving it unallocated until the 7.5 GB of free space is about used up rather then turning it into a new partition right now?
If its left unallocated then its doing nothing and cant be used for storage as yet until you partition it, so you might aswell use it.
....whatever you store on the rest of your hard drive? music, video, spreadsheets, porn...whatever you can fit on it that you want on your pc.
sorry another couple questions... i don't plan on making anymore partitions on the hd, so should i make this new partition another primary or should make it an extended with one logical partition? and should i partition the full amount of unallocated space?
can't be a primary as it will be extended\logical partition. use full partition as would be stupid to leave some unallocated.
