Windows 7 is stable as far as I can tell I have had a few different builds now and they all have been stable while I was using them. The only thing is some drivers may not totally work with it but as far as that goes I haven't run into any problems with any of my drivers at all either.
Depending on what OS you are using there are a couple different ways to partition you HDD. Vista has a built in feature to do it if your using vista you go to control panel >Administrative tools > Computer management> Storage> Disk management. Then click on your drive you want to partition go to the bottom where it shows your drive right click and click on shrink volume. Then specify the size you want to use for the partition. (it is in MB's NOT Gb's so just multiply 1024 times the number of Gb's you want it to be) and then hit ok. After that you will right click on the new partition and click new simple volume. and poof your done.
Yes and Yes to the other questions It will not let it boot off a game tho so it will either come up with an error like unable to boot from media or just not boot which means you gotta take out the disk. So I always just set it to HDD as the first boot media after I have installed the OS the first time. And disable the Floppy if your not using one also. It wont hurt anything if you dont but its just something i do also.
