creating a partition

[mac451]

I am currently in the middle of an xp install. Right now it says I have 238473 MB of unpartitioned space. My question is should I create a partition or just leave the whole thing unpartitioned. Thanks

It would be mighty tough to use an unpartitioned drive for anything other than a paperweight

You will need to create at least one.

You won't be going much farther into the install without any partitions.

It's mandatory to create at least one partition. Creating more than one will cause your computer to show one hard drive as multiple drives. This can be a really good way to organize things to help keep them in order.

Here's a link, to a storage review article that will tell you everything on God's green earth you want/don't want to know about partitioning.
