I have my Maxtor 80gig hard drive partitioned roughly 20/60, the 20gig
partition containing XP Home. For one reason or another i am going to
reinstall Home XP and at the same time I would like to make the optimum
arangement to install a further os (maybe a linux or win2000). So I am
looking for the best configuration of a 80 gig hard drive. Can any one help
with some ideas or direct me towards the information?
Thanks a lot.

It really depends on how you plan to use the partitions and how much
space you will require on each. For maximum flexibility, I'd suggest
a third party program like PartitionMagic so you can
create/resize/delete partitions without losing data.
