Hi
Buliding my first machine from scratch for a friend.
I've got a SATA Deskstar 500Gb HDD and want to put an XP install, I am going to partition the HDD but didn't know whether to do an even 250Gb split or not, what would you recommend?
Noticed that when on the setup screen there's already an 8Mb partitioned space, any reason for this plus it wouldn't let me delete it? Any help would be appreciated.
Also, am I correct by setting IDE controller in BIOS to [non-RAID]?
Cheers
