Yeah -- I meant that SP4 was slipstreamed in -- my fault!!! 
As for partitions, I'm not sure why I don't like them to be perfectly honest with 
you....you mentioned windows being a filing cabinet of sorts and I think I feel the 
same way -- but with a different perspective on the situation.  I'm really OCD about 
how I keep my PC organized and it just always seemed neater to keep everything on 
one disk in it's own little place - I guess a partition just complicates matters 
for me.  I'm faced with the dilema of what goes where....what goes on the boot drive? 
What goes on the second partition (I KNOW this sounds insane....sorry!!!). 

Will it, however, like you mentioned make a difference in speed to have two 80 gig 
partitions?  For the sake of my OCD would it be possible to make partition just big 
enough to run windows on (with plenty of room to stretch its legs of course) then 
have the second partition be storage - or would this be just as slow as one big drive 
(not to mention a waste of space possibly)?  Speed is more important than my system 
of organization so I can cope if it'll make a noticeable difference.  I guess really 
what i'm asking here is --- what's the best way to approach this?

Sorry, to sound so retarded when it comes to partitioning - but like I've said I've 
tried to avoid it up to this point.
