Mostly the only reason you would Partition a drive Dan, was to brake down a 100gig drive, for example, to four 25gig drives. This was useful when only one computer was in the house hold. Also, IMHO it's a carry over from when you were limited to only 2-4gigs on any drive because it was all the system could handel, so you had to partition a 10gig drive so you could use it all. You can partition any hard drive if you want too, but the fast home use drives of today don't realy need it unless the system is used by two or more in a household, then it makes good sense, most times.
