    Here was my plan for my T61.

    i was going to have 1 partition for my Windows directory (incase i ever get spyware and need to reformat it). 1 partition for the rest of my wnidows stuff (files, music, everything else). and eventually 1 other partition for OsX86.

    will that work, or will there be a conflict (i don't see how there would be, but better safe)

    also.

    I downloaded every single T61 driver i would need (getting ready to do a clean install right when i get my system).
    is it better to go through each driver 1 by 1. or use the System Update to do all of it for me?

    If you plan on installing programs on this separate partitions forget about it -- you'll have to reinstall them when you reinstall windows. But if it is just for storage of music, videos, photos, documents that sounds fine.

    Depends on what version of windows. You may need your wireless driver for say XP. But if you are using XP SP2 or Vista, I would recommend just using system update.
