i'm installing windows 2003 Server Standard on my new server with 2x160GB
disks RAID0.
Diskspace is created for a boot partition and one for future bios/flash
installations, but taking that into account i'm still having about 146 GB
left.
should i put all this space into 1 data partition, or is it better to split
the disk space into different partitons.
What are the pros/cons of both approaches?

Thanks for any help.
 
Unless you have an overriding reason, only one data partition is necessary.

However, I'm intrigued by your use of RAID0. You realise that this provides
no fault tolerance at all, don't you? The need for performance over
anything else is the only reason you might want to do this.
