Thank you for your input(s). Of course you can just use ONE partition if you so desire. I plan to have FOUR OSs so, obviously, I will have at least SIX partitions. (I don't really want an OS on the FAT 32 drive 'C' - just the boot files and any DOS utils I may need.) Let me quote from my first post: 'My question is: what constitutes 'too' many on a drive of this size?' In other words: at what point do NTFS partitions become a hindrance rather than a help?

I am in the planning stages of partitioning a new 120GB HDD for use in an XP system. I have read that it is not efficient to divide into 'too' many NTFS partitions. My question is: what constitutes 'too' many on a drive of this size? Is ten reasonable? I would like to prevent the partitions getting 'too' large so that it won't take all night to defrag. Obviously there is a trade-off here, but some pointers for a noob would be appreciated. Thanks.

I'm trying to set up a macro to print two copies of a Word document, one in draft mode and then a second in normal mode. When the macro runs it seems to ignore the selected quality setting and just prints the document twice. None of the items listed in the macro itself mentions the quality settings. Am I to assume it cannot be done or am I missing something? Thanks in advance. Word v 9.0 Office 2000
