Repeat. DO NOT separate your OS and apps -- keep those on one big
happy partition. It really is better to keep those together in OS X.
If you must partition your main drive, just split it in two -- 80 GB
for OS and apps TOGETHER, and 80 GB for media/scratch.
And keep the second drive as one big happy partition. There really is
no need to partition it if it's just going to hold your video and audio
media.
