Hi, as you may have seen in this other thread, I am upgrading my system to a dual boot system running Debian and Win7. I'm trying to get ideas as to how someone else would approach this.
THE PLAN: I have 2x 320gb HDD's and have just purchased 2x 1TB drives. I am planning to architecht this like so:
So in effect, I would not be using the "/home" and "My Documents" spaces that machines default to.
CONCERN: there may be inconsistence and/or problems with how Linux and windows will share the data drive. Although I don't foresee any, I would love to get your opinions.
THE PLAN: I have 2x 320gb HDD's and have just purchased 2x 1TB drives. I am planning to architecht this like so:
- [0] HDD 320gb (NTFS) : Windows OS's with possible partitions (like 10gb) for Win98 (for old games)
- [1] HDD 320gb (EXT4) : Debian
- [2] HDD 1tb (NTFS) : Data Drive ( keeps all data from both os's, such as music, pics, videos, docs, etc)
- [3] HDD 1tb (NTFS) : Data backup for [2] drive
So in effect, I would not be using the "/home" and "My Documents" spaces that machines default to.
