I don't want to hijack this thread, but I had a re-formatting/partitioning question.

I don't know what happened with my windows7 OS but one day it just would get past the opening animation, nor could I access any of the safe modes. buying a second drive to use as my boot drive solved the problem of having to lose my data to a clean install.

But I was wondering if it would be wise to partition this drive and keep my windows files separate from my school/work files in case something like this happens again?

Because I'm a broke student I went back to a PC (which I don't mind at all. Are you allowed to be a MAC and PC fan at the same time?) but because of my years using a mac, I'm a little out of practice with all this stuff.
