Best partition scheme [WIN7 | Ubuntu | Media | Home]
- by Rockiano
I just got a new HD (750GB of which 700GB are usable) and I want to partition it taking in consideration:
Media (200GB)
Home (300GB)
Win7(150GB)
Ubuntu(50GB) (I have 6GB of ram, would i need to consider a swap partition)
The Media and Home partitions usually are left untouched, but once a month (or in some cases more) I will be formatting Win7 and/or Ubuntu, changing their sizes and even creating a third partition for a second ubuntu/win7 instance (using the 200GB originally assigned for them)
What would be a good/best partition scheme to avoid problems in the Media and Home partition (And the hard-drive in general), considering they are highly unlikely to change and that also the Win7 partition is the less unlikely to be changing in relation to the ubuntu partition?
I hope I'm clear enough and if any more details are missing please let me know.
Thank you in advance.
