How many partitions do you have?

basically, 0=just 1 drive, 1=two drives, etc.

 

0 partitions.

 

You spelled it wrong.

 

You didn't use any punctuation or capitalize 'you'.

 

No I didn't!

 

Sticking to your Poll rules I voted '4', which means I have 5 partitions in total.

But your '0' partition concept is incorrect, as even if you only have a 'C Drive' it is still '1 partition' - think about it - the 'C Partition'. No partitions = unpartitioned (empty) drive.

So you should re-word your question: "do you have any extra partitions on your drive?" if you want to use '0' as a variable.

 

Fixed it, but look at your own post lulz.

 

I care because..... why? I explained it so that people would understand it.

 

You could also have 'You spelt it incorrect ly'.

 

Because I would hate to think an NBR member with over 1800 posts actually knew that little about fundamental concepts like partitions.

 

This poll confused me.. I put 2 since I have two partitions before I read the actual post =.=

 

I would hate to think someone that's been here for 2 months only has 26 posts.

 

Two partitions. OS and data.

 

A lame-ass comeback considering other member's answers are pointing out the flaw in your poll:

 

One partition for me. Just the OS.

 

1.window
2.window
3.linux
4.swap for linux

looks like i am using the maxium number.

 

3 partitions: Windows, Data, and MediaDirect

I voted for 2 per the first post.

 

just 2 partitions. C: and D: on my 160 GB HDD.

All I need. One for the OS and the other for music, videos, etc.

 

OS, data, MediaDirect, Diagnostics

 

2 partitons currently.

But on my ol' desktop.. I had 6.

Windows XP Professional
Windows XP Professional x64
Windows 2003 Server Enterprise R2 x64
Windows Vista Ultimate
Windows Vista Ultimate x64
Windows Server 2008

Now I'm sad...

 

3.

Vista ultimate
Data and my stuff
Steam games

Two, OS and "Data" - the ones already there when I bought the laptop (about the same split I used to make on my old desktop PCs).
Plus two, occasionally three extra in the form of external harddrives.

And yes, I think you poll was a bit confusing as well, seeing as you can't have zero partions. At least not on a disk you're actually using .

 

< Vista > < Data > < Ubuntu > < Linux Swap >

 

I have fifteen partitions on my lappie (one hard disk) and some 30-40 on my desktop (four hard disks).
You should add a "More" radiobutton.

 

You are using the maximum number of primary partitions.
But if you created an extended partition you could have had up to 15 partitions visible in Linux and up to 26 visibile in Windows.

 

That is a LOT of partitions

 

Well, I also have some 12 operating systems over there. (four of which are backup copy in case one of the disks takes fire )
I like to taste Linux's different flavors.
