Okay, thanks.

Well, right now it looks like my partitions shoud be:

-- OS
-- Page File
-- Applications
-- MP3's and Suspicious Downloads

Anything else? What about Documents? I'm a writer, and I don't want my documents going the way of the carrier pigeon if I get a virus.

Documents can be in a seperate partition from the application (IE wordperfect, word, etc) that runs them, right?

Is it going to be too confusing having 5 partitions?

Actually, it would be six partitions, because the company that put my pc together included a partition in the hard drive, that says it "contain an image file which is used for hard drive restoration". I'm not really sure what it's for, but I assume it's imortant. This factory-included partition is 3 gig.
