Partitioning 2TB seagate external hard disk

[PRASHANTH_TRO]

It came with a single partition of 1.81 TB. How many partitions are advisable or should I keep it as one as it is now?

Unless you have some specific purpose for splitting it, just leave it as 1.

okay. thank you. Help me out on this one USAFRet. How big a C: partition should be for an internal hard drive? Is it fine if I make it to more than 300GB? Now it is 199GB at present. Does it slow down the PC even if I run i7 3770 with 8 gigs of RAM?

What drives do you have in the system?
What do you use this system for?

It won't slow the PC down either way. Personally, I would have left it at the 1TB, but 200 or 300GB is fine.
