Blu3ness Posted May 19, 2008 Share Posted May 19, 2008 This might've been a topic that has been repeatedly brought up on this forum, in this case, I apologize for bringing it up again, but after skimming through the wiki and various tutorials on teh internet, I haven't found a solution that would be satisfactory. Basically the problem is as follows, finding a partition scheme that would maximize storage efficiency while maintaining good data sharing between OS's I know there are various partition schemes out there, Ill just point out the ones that are off the top of my head: Part n Conquer, each OS gets their partition and store everything there create a common FAT partition to share data and give each OS about 20 gig of space for app files and system files OS and application on one hard drive, and use external harddrives / another HD for data storage Which one do you recommend? and if so, what are the shortcomings that you have experienced? I have only personally used the first scheme when I'm dual-booting linux/XP, I found numerous disadvantages, i.e. my current linux partition is almost full and I can't access the windows partition spaces. Your opinion is appreciated, thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
