advantages of partitoning?

Well, you must have at least one partition. Beyond that, its a matter of
personal preference regarding how you want to organize your stuff - data,
applications, etc.

Hi,
there are some more trade-offs to consider
have a look at Ron Badours page

Good luck

Every disk MUST have at least one partition.

Thanks for the tip. I didn't realize it was going to be so
subjective.

I don't understand your response. I was looking for info
on pros/cons of partitioning a fairly large disk.

It actually up to you. Far as speed. It does not make a difference
like it use to for old systems.

But the my opinion
