Then I would suggest 15 GB for the OS/software partition (usually
C:), and the rest for a data partition (D:).

FWIW, I also use 4 volumes, as follows:

C: (7.9G FAT32 primary) OS, apps, pagefile, temp
Extended partition, containing:
D: (2G FAT16) data
E: (largeG FAT32) "everything else"
F: (2G FAT16) backups and cold storage

A 7.9G FAT32 C: is fine for OS, Office, etc. but won't be if you let
large games and CDs install there, leave multiple user's IE web cache
set to the outrageously large defaults, and leave your data, pictures,
music and videos on C: as well.

But if you sort those issues out (TweakUI is your friend when it comes
to relocating the "My ..." ghettos off C: for safety) then a FAT32 C:
that is just under 8G is nice, because the 4k cluster size perfectly
fits the processor's natural paging size.
